I still do not get jde's claim that working on a diesel is some long lost art form. Where I live diesel is the norm, rednecks prefer em and 12 valve cummins if left stock and don't molest the fuel plate, never break down. I have driven nothing but diesels for over 10 years and I have more known diesel techs than I know good transmission shops. Our local Tuffy even has a Vietnam vet diesel mech who simply cannot be stumped and the labor rate is still only $75. 190,000 miles seems a lot? My cumins had 225,000 on it and was considered just "broken in" engine wise though it's on its second trans. It's well over 300,000 now. Get a Dodge Ram 12 valve and don't look back. The sorts of things you will be working on are windshield wiper motors, lights, swapping electrical connectors and alternators, that's it.
