Not sure I agree with everything that travelnutz has posted. But I do agree that the old Dodges and Rams I see here in the NorthEast do seem to not tolerate road salt well. Look at those that are 2006 and older, and their bodies, frames, do not hold up as well as the Bodies and frames on the Fords, or GM twins. On all makes of that age, the brake and fuel lines are either replaced, or need to be replaced.
Of course the Ford 6L, have other devastating problems. But they seem to hold up against the salt better than the RAMS/Dodges.
So considering that, if I was going to recommend a diesel of that vintage, it would be the GMC, or Chevy. The 2006 or 07. are very good models.
Just my opinion.
