Advice on choosing and Older Suburban DIesel?
I came very close to buying a Dodge 3500 Cummins this week but the family didn't love it so I let it go. In my research on other diesel trucks under $8000 the Diesel Burbs from the 90's come up a lot...

I think the Cummins is by far the better engine, but as you say you have to like the truck too. Cummins only comes in a truck, not a big wagon like the Suburban. Diesel engines in the 1990's were very underpowered compared to today, and the 6.5 was the worst of the lot, under 200 hp in an 8,000 lb truck. Decent torque. Several known issues like crank's failing, fuel injector modules failing. AM General is still putting them in military hummers as far as I know.
