What it has to do with the OP's original question is that you shouldn't be afraid of a gas engine. My last 3 TV's were 454 gas, 7.3 diesel, and 454 gas and they all pull the same. A gasser is cheaper by far to fix, and you don't get the stink eye coming in after 6PM. Or from the neighbors at 6AM. When was the last time somebody had a 14 page thread about being stranded somewhere in Kansas because nobody knew how to fix their gasser?
Yep, if your truck is over 20 years old you can get it fixed about anywhere. When you get up to the modern computer controlled engines, gas or diesel, bubba and his shade tree are about useless....
Ok, back to the original post. Properly set up I see no reason a Hemi wouldn't work just fine in a 2500 class vehicle. Probably run at a higher rpm cruising than the diesel due to different torque curves but that's not all bad. It's designed to run at a higher RPM than a diesel.
