I've got a 92 Dodge with the 5.9 Cummins and 5 speed Gertrag and love it. Absolutely the best truck I've ever owned.
That being said, nobody but GM ever tried to make a 1/2 ton rig with their own diesel engine, so for that I give the former General Motors credit.
Also, this is basically a one-of-a-kind vehicle, so I don't have a lot of options. K5 chasis, 4WD, diesel, pop-up roof, solar power, 6000 watts AC power, etc. If I had money and time to burn, I'd stick a four-cylinder Cummins 4BDT in it.
I'll also note that I still have my 83 diesel Blazer plow-truck. I've had it for 20 years and it's never skipped a beat. My favorite plow truck, due to the short wheel basis and good fuel mileage. The guy that had it before me didn't get 20K miles out of the original 700R4 in it, and converted it to a turbo 400 with a mechanical modulator. I've got 300K miles on it and it still runs perfect. Pulled a camper for many years with it, but now it's all rotted out.
