    Just about any 5.9 Cummins with 43k miles on it and still running will be a diamond in the rough.

    The only ones I hear people trying to avoid are the '99-'01 trucks with the 53 block.

    Agreed. The only other caveat with the 2nd gen 24v is the fuel system. But its easily rectified. I love my 02.

    It all depends on your tastes. Some guys love the look of the first gens. The third gens are a good option if you need more room for family.
