7.3 Powerstroke Purachasing Help!

I am looking at purchasing a 1998 E350 with a 7.3 Powerstroke in it. I have always had gas engines and don't really know what to look for with a diesel. Can anyone offer any tips? I do know my way around engines / vehicles being an S.O.B. (Son Of a Bodyman). Van in question is one owner with 120,000 miles on it. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is a decent start of things to consider/inspect.

The van is similar, but there are a few differences. But you'll probably get the idea. Good luck.
