So I'm about to enter the world of diesel Fords. The truck in question is an '89 7.3 4x4 5 spd, extended cab, long bed. 290k on the odometer.
I know these engines have a reputation for running forever, but I'm worried about suspension/drivetrain. Anything common failure items on this year that I should keep an eye out for?
Seller is asking $3k. Is this reasonable (assuming fair condition). I haven't actually visited the truck yet, that's tomorrow morning.
Truck would be used for occasional boat towing (~5000 lbs), and other chores. It won't have a hard life in other words.
Thanks in advance for any info!
