Actually, they are correct.

No they're not.

"1st Gen" refers to "First Generation Ram". The Ram line started in 1981 and ended in 1993. The earlier Diesels were in Dodges, but not in Rams. If you want to get nit-picky and start talking about the first Diesels in Dodges, then you have to go way back and look at some very early medium-duty trucks the Dodge Brothers manufactured.

The D Series was a line of pickup trucks sold by the Dodge division of American automaker Chrysler from 1961 to 1980. After 1980, the trucks were renamed as the Dodge Ram and the same basic design was retained until the 1994 introduction of a completely redesigned Ram. The D Series shared its AD platform with the Dodge Ramcharger/Plymouth Trailduster twins.

There was never a Dodge Ram with a naturally aspirated Diesel. The question wasn't asking about "D-series" trucks, it was specifically asking about Dodge Rams.

Only before 1981 the trucks did not say "RAM" anywhere on them, because they were not marketed as "RAMs". If you want to get nit-picky about the stupid n/a Mitsubishi failure of a Diesel, of which I'm sure about 10 of remain on the road today, then I get to be nit-picky about Dodge's own nomenclature.

"First Gen" obviously doesn't refer to "First Gen Dodge Truck" does it? Or did they have the "Negative 12th Gen" back in the 20's?

I win the quibbling argument!
