7.3 Diesel Longevity?

light grey/white smoke when decelerating is usually a sign of cavitation on the cylinder wall... looks like your engine is starting its last leg... thankfully mine does not smoke what so ever that way..

if I get 50-100K out of this truck (paid only 1500$) I will more than happy!
