if your going to use it as a hauler, drop a 5.9 cummins into it. they are unbeatable at torq and fuel economy and they can haul some serious bum!
this is at a stock configuration, no HI PO required for what your doing, but that is just my opinion. the most common problems with a cummins is:
firewall, forward clearance, and that funny u shaped frame member under the cab, i cut mine out
, the exaughst is another issue but easly solved
