1. Definetly look at 2500 series trucks.
2. If looking at Dodges, they do not have a great back seat unless it's MegaCab, starting in 2006, or the new crew cab models starting in 2009 or so - both out of your price range.

4. After 2000, GM had a model called 1500HD which came only in CrewCab configuration and with 6.0 / 4L80E tranny, that would be a good one for you.
5. 2500 Avalanches came ONLY with 8.1
Good luck
