My used truck had been used to pull horses across the country. It was well maintained, and there were at least regular services done.
They showed horses and generally those people are easy on trucks. I don’t know much about 99 Dodges, so maybe it’s ok, or maybe not even if it didn’t pull a fiver.
Maintenance is everything..The op might consider talking to a diesel mechanic or have them look at and drive it before making the jump..
When I was looking for a truck to put a TC on,diesels was an option..My neighbor owns a diesel shop and I see them towed in almost daily..I definitely would have asked him about what I was considering and even better,let him check it out before buying..
Good luck to the op in buying a truck for a truck camper.
