Correct me if I'm wrong but I think your 08 is a 5 speed tranny so whichever you decide, the new 6 speed will be a world of difference.
I know this wasn't one of the choices you listed but if mileage and power is high up on your list maybe take a look at the new 2016 Nissan Titan with the new 5.0 Cummins Diesel 310hp 555tq and MPG in the 20's. I've never been interested in any truck Nissan has but this could change my thinking because IMO a half ton pickup with a good diesel that has some hp and tq is a market area that all the "Bigs" have overlooked for years. Maybe something to think about and take a look at.

The nissan is new to diesel? Correct? Might wait to see how well it goes.

Dodge actually had the option to use the same Cummins motor as Nissan is using in the 2016 Titan but they chose to go with their own Fiat diesel instead.

Hopefully they weren't basing that decision off of the reliability and build quality of Fiat's flagship 500 car, because that car is a giant pile. Actually it's a tiny pile. We were replacing manual transmissions in those buckets with under 1000 miles on them faster than they could supply replacements.
