It took me about three days of sleepless nights to make it through this entire thread and I fear that it will be expensive. I have noticed a handful of domestic vans but it seems that the majority are Fords. Does or did anyone else offer a diesel in a van? I know Sprinters but they can't tow enough nor are there used 4x4's in my price range. Dodge or Chevy? I'm sure if Dodge had put a Cummins in a passenger van I'd have figured that out but I just thought I'd ask.

Fords have the most aftermarket support and are relatively easy to convert to a capable 4x4. Fords came with a 7.3l IDI diesel until 1994(ish), when they were replaced by the 7.3l PSD and then the 6.0 PSD in 2004 (mid 2003). Chevy can be had with a Duramax, but more limited aftermarket support... But seems to be improving.
You may be able to get a Cummins in a ford van at some point... Check out MG Metalworks build thread on here... Super sweet.
