New Info BT4 cummis

Hi, I need some input/advice.
I want a 1/2 ton pickup for a daily driver, since I put on 500 miles per week. I want a deisel for the fuel mileage. The older baby deisel trucks are getting 35 to 45 MPG. I think the right engine in a 1/2 ton should yeild close to 30 MPG, that would be prefect. I drive a ranger at this time but the truck and bed are not big enough since I use it for work a lot. I would like to find a 2nd gen dodge and put deisel power in it. Were do I start? Ant cost guesstomates. Thanks for any input.
