I looked at many 5.9 trucks and came close to buying one... the
problem is they hold their value so well that even a 4 year old truck
with 50-80K miles has not depreciated like a similar car or even a gas
truck would have. 2003-2004 models are recommended (minimal emissions
equipment), but the Mega cab didn't come until '06, so they were not
in my search criteria.
