Glad you got it going again. You might want to give the wire harness connection a good look at. That water should not have gotten in there to start with. Did you decide to keep you truck?

What type of work do you do? Construction, landfill, work at a mine? These diesels do have a drawback, they are heavy on the front end making them prone to getting stuck easier than a gas powered truck. One of my best friends loves it when his brother burries the front end of his 04 4X4 in mud. He goes out there in his J-20, drives circles around him laughing at him, then he pulls him out. I must admit, his J-20 is one of the nicest jeep pickup trucks you'll ever see considering it gets used on a regular basis.
As for tires, my Dad has a set of Cooper Discoverer SST's on the rear of his 2X4 chevy. They look kinda funny on a 2 wheel drive, but he really likes them.

There is used dealer here that i have seen him drop his prices on all of his trucks anywhere from $1000-$3000!!! He has a F450 or a F550 crew cab with an enclosed utility body. I have seen that one drop $2000. The worst part is I won't buy chit from him. I did some work for him and had to take him to court to get my money. I bought 2 trucks from him before that!!

With sand, i think a wider tire is better.. it will sit on top of the sand rather sink in..

I'd like a truck with more of the bells and whistles that were available in '03, but my entire drivetrain from the radiator to the differential are so perfect I would be afraid to walk away from it even if I could afford to grab one of today's good deals.
