Yes, Dodge front ends have issues, the unitized wheel bearings are about the worst idea anyone came up with for durability, but it does sell a lot of parts!... Ball joints the same idea, but Ford's have the identical ball joints, and quite possibly chevy as well.
If I didn't use my truck to do a LOT of towing, I'd go with a gas engine for sure... Warms up in 3 minutes, far cheaper maintenance and repairs, and unless you're working the truck, you probably get as good mileage on them... Since they're a lot lighter, they're much easier on the front end and tires, and with less vibration and torque, transmissions hold up better too
