i have a 91.5 which is a good truck. i also have a 97 and a 08 mega cab. the mega cab gets the best mpgs. so far with 118k has been a good truck.

Best on fuel was the 2000 5.9, I really miss this truck good power great fuel mileage. If you buy one put a new lift pump on and a fuel pressure gauge, no big deal.

Best interier and ride was the 4th gen trucks. But the emission equipment suck!!

Best sound is the 12 valve
what kind of mileage did you get with your 2000 5.9? i'm currently looking into '99-'02

12Vs are arguably the most reliable, but the issues with the 24V, and CR engines are easily corrected these days, so buy what you like!
