thanks, did you have bad experience with the other brands?
according to the service manual, the head bolts can be reused, is that really recommended? i have never reused head bolts on any other diesel engine. Saw that RA don't sell any new bolts either..
I will need a new oil pan too, found out that the 94-02 pan is a lot cheaper than 89-93, why? and of course, will it fit? (i have 4x4)

I think the cross member is different....
I've held the other brand head gaskets in my hand and well.......might as well make your own out of cardboard.
I've heard though that Victor Reinz has upped their gaskets and is now identical to the Cummins.
You can re use stock head bolts, if you measure them and they are within spec.
Also, just because something is not listed on a company's site...doesn't mean they can't get it or don't carry it.
