See you probably would have been fine in the 7.3. Probably wouldnt of had even bent the bumper. I say get it. Although 6 hrs is quite the drive. Where do you live that you cant find something a little more local? You want a pickup without 4wd?

Her excursion has the 7.3 and a ranch hand bumper. Problem is it has a leveling kit, so the car was like under the bumper 0.o

Then go for it! The forums are here to help, I doubt there is anything wrong with the block. I mean 1 owner and all records... Thats means they took care.

Looks like a lot of rot. For a 2wd and 6hrs away, I'd keep looking if it were me.

Not all 7.3 engines are Powerstroke like your Mom's. Mid '94 and earlier are 7.3 but different from PS except for displacement.

Thank you all, going to have to hold either way right now as not sure what side insurance is going to side with..

What is aluminum piece called that supports the radiator on powerstrokes? It got bent, which bent the oil cooler? Poked a hole in the radiator, and moving fan shroud.-cuss

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Must be a sd thing. @IDIoit does yours have it?
Mine is a regular idi style core support.
You mean the trans cooler? Oil cooler is on the side of the block.

That's just the core support. Should be steel. Have you stuck a magnet to it?
Looks to me like a power steering fluid cooler. They started getting implemented on the newer trucks with hydroboost brakes.

That's a shame, that radiator looks pretty new. For a replacement, look into mishimoto.
I would pressure test the CAC.
Also see if it's leaking refrigerant.

The radiator is a few months new, got a steal deal for it too...

Refrigerant seems ok, only leaking coolant.

How much do core supports run for? Anyone ever replaced one?
