question on the 3L GU

Got a question on the GU 3L diesel
From what year was the 3L diesel donk reliable???? Meaning it wasn’t like a hand grenade and unpredictably would blow up 2003? 2005?
I’m asking this as i'm considering going back to Nissan patrol and parting ways with my beloved 3.9L v8 disco
