I've been looking for awhile and am considering a 2000 LTD, 7.3 PSD, 160k miles, 1FMSU43F2YEC33330. I ran the VIN- no outstanding recalls. The AutoCheck is clean and I had a dealer run the oasis report. It looks ok to me, but I'd appreciate a knowledgeable second opinion.

Is there anything else I should be looking for when I go to drive it? Any help is appreciated!

Seems like it has quite a few engine issues. It has left the previous owner stranded a few times. I would look elsewhere.

 

maybe, but i did the deed and bought it. the temp sensor is still a little tricky- needs constant attention to keep it clean. don't know if it is a bad sensor/harness or just poor location. anyway, happy so far.
