Ok I have been wanting to hop on the diesel route and get a 7.3 for ages and it has never seemed the right time and I have had trouble finding a babied 7.3 with decently low miles. although I know most will say the motor will last forever i wanted one with low miles for its age. I just put a 100$ deposit on a 2003 7.3 powerstroke crew cab lariat with 80k miles on it after searching far and wide. i did the deposit because it is a 3 hour drive and I havent got a chance to see it in person yet but with all the pics I have seen it looks perfect. I know very little about diesels but plan on diving in headfirst very soon. my question is what should i look for before I buy the truck to know that it will be good to go and will last me 500,000 miles like everyone says? I know there are lots of diesel drivers on here so feel free to dive in.
