What Log Book????
I've found an 05 with 38,000 on the clicker. I lifted the hood before driving it around & found alot of oil residue on the underside of the IC pipes up on top of the motor & all around the center top area of the motor, caked on around those 2 caps behind the fan shroud (where the fuel filter is on the 7.3). Kinda looks like some spilled oil while filling & didn't clean it up. Mixed with road dirt & the like so it isn't "wet" but it's there. I drove it around & it seems to run & shift smoothly. Boost under normal driving stays around 18-20psi & the turbo coming in right away. No weird noises & rides nice.
The oil has me wondering & the fact that it's an 05 with 38,000 that someone traded for a Nissan Titan is bothersome. Did they trade it because it's a **** or just too big for them? Who knows.... Anyway, what should I be looking for or checking on any 6.0 I may look at? This isn't my dream truck but it would be a step up I could live with if the price is right. Any thoughts on the existing oil res. or other things to check for tell tale problems?
