hahaha! yeah they are around, but not many of them, not necessarily nearby, and not necessarily for a good price.. There are a few here and there I've found that I will keep looking at..

Find the truck you like with the mileage condition options and price you can live with. Don’t obsess on whether there’s a 2 or a 3 on the door badge.
Solid advice, thank you again.

You mentioned older than 2014. Good choice for your use, save for emissions, IMO. Pre 2013 emissions on Rams is the old style dpf which gets considerably worse mileage and is more susceptible to problems.
thanks. Based on that description I may just bite the bullet and up my price range a tad. Last thing I want is to be "too cheap" and strand my family on the interstate 400+ miles from home.

Not a deal breaker if you save $ or are willing to delete it. The early 4th Gen truck’s 2010 and up are the 3rd gen chassis from 2003 on.
I've heard reference to "deleted" here and elsewhere but don't know what they're talking about, and figured I had enough other questions to be answered as it was. :D This will be my first foray into diesel. Can you explain what 'deleted' means, or suggest a place to do more reading?
cheers,
