Welcome to the DTR. Thanks for your service. What is your rate?

Best of luck finding a truck, you are doing good looking for a third gen. With the 05's, some of them had plastic intercooler sides, you want to look for that, there was a problem with them bursting under higher boost pressures. Other than that, 05-07 were pretty good trucks. If you can find an 07 5.9, you'll be in the best spot!.

Let us know what we can do to help.
