As I was reading your description, I started thinking that I heard the new roller lifters can have problems. I'm surprised the shop didn't replace all the lifters the first time.
130K? You likely have quite a few more good miles with that pickup.
What are you hauling? Towing? I've been mighty impressed with the half ton pickups. Yes, I miss the 8 foot beds, but I do like the large cabs. I'm still using the 2013 3.6L RAM, and I work it hard. I do wish it had stiffer rear springs, but I think some of the newer half tons are fixing the weak spring problems.
I'm not sure I'd go with the 2.8 to 3.2L diesel engines. At one time I thought that the 5.0L Cummins in the Titan would be a good compromise, but it doesn't get quite as good of mileage as I'd like.
