A bit more to chew on from Truck Trend Magazine.

At a breifing for the 2009 ram, a Chrysler spokesman HAS CONFIRMED that a diesel WILL be offered in the half ton market NEXT YEAR as a 2010 model. At the breifing the spokesman declined which engine they were planning on using. "it will be either a Cummins modular v6 or v8 as either do fit th enew chassis. The 4.2 liter v6 makes more sense as it has a superior economy and has hemi like torque from a v6. With both Ford and Chevy readying their 150 and 1500 market with engines in the 4.5 liter range there is no doubt where the money lies.
