I am looking at a 97 CC 4x4 7.3 w/5 speed.
This would be a replacement to my 94 IDI. I love my IDI but it seems to be cursed by fate......car accident.
The vehicle I am looking at has 150k and looks to be used for towing since it has a Team roping sticker on it.
Just wondering what I need to look at to be 100% certain before I buy this rig.
1. I know to do a cold start to verify the functionality of the glow plug system. If that were to be an issue what is the time and cost involved to replace/repair the system?
2. What boost #'s are 'normal' when unloaded at different speeds? Note its a 5 sp so that will vary....I understand that.
IS there anything else I need to check or verify before pruchase?
Thanks for the suggestions.
