Wait until 2010. From http://www.allpar.com/model/upcoming.html

"/Automotive News/ says a 4.2 liter Cummins V6 is due for 2010 in the
Durango (and maybe the Dakota), with 190 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. Gas
mileage is likely to be about 20 city, 25 highway, far better than the
Durango's 4.7 V8 (14/18), with slightly lower or similar acceleration.
(This is different from the 1500’s V8 diesel.)"
