Will be going to take a second look at a truck here in the coming week and figured I would post up here to you all a few photos and vid of motor running to just see if anyone had any glaring input I was overlooking. Ive done some pretty decent research on here, Expo Portal, ford forums etc over the past week or so, and took a decent check list with me upon first look.
Truck is a 91 F350 7.3 IDI automatic dually (ex military ambo). Has just over 100k on the clock, upon first checking it out it fired up(took about 3-4 cranks), ran, idled, and drove. Fired up (again 3-4 cranks) after driving around a bit and restarting. I took it for a spin around the block, went through all the gears, test the 4x4, didn't over heat, etc. Truck seemed clean upon crawling underneath, no oil leaking or coating the underside, no coolant drips etc. PO had put a new rad in it but other than that bone stock truck.
I am pretty say as far as car mechanics go however have never worked on or owned a diesel...hence why I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw up some photos and get the input of you fine folks!

Appreciate any insight, heckling, flaming and advice.
