Hey Jay,
I am all for Dodge and Ford diesels, except for non-7.3L Ford Diesels.
Concerning the Dodges, Keep in mind that 1999-2002 model 2500/3500 Rams had the STANDARD output AND the HIGH Output versions. High outputs were backed up with a heavy duty 6 speed. Standard outputs are followed by the NV6000? 5 speed shiny aluminum box. I have no hard feelings concerning the 5 speed, but I love that extra 6th gear!
The front ends were beefed up in '03 as we all know, but in 2000, a different grade of steel tubing was used for the front control arms. But in reality, they were still cheapish. However, full steel aftermarket arms are available from offroading suppliers found in Peterson's 4wd mag.
As for the seats, their cloth buckets are surprisingly formed to my arse, but everyone's arses are different, so I can't give you much info on the seats.
As of now, Fords and Dodges are the same prices (new and older) but you can't beat the shaker 5.9.
All I know is that I daren't touch a GM diesel. Especially with the way the front end looks new today. Looks like a big silver alligator coming to bite your arse.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
