Need some advice
Hey guys I'm new here and to diesels. So I bought a F350 with 55k miles, it was owned by an older guy no heavy use. I pulled the service records this is where I need your help is the following items that where checked or replaced of any huge concern. 6k miles check of powertrain/engine computer module, engine checked, glow plugs replaced. 28,314 miles ball joints replaced,steering damper replaced. 47,708 radiator replaced. Thank you everyone so far I absolutely love this truck hope it doesn't turn out to be a Lemon!!!

whoa....glow plugs replaced that soon??? and ball joints and damper at 28k?!?! Im no expert, and somewhat new myself...im wondering if having the glows replaced too soon is a result of someone not waiting for them to warm up at each engine start, if so that could eventually lead to needing new injectors sooner than should be needed.
You got me on the ball joints, maybe faulty or he never slowed down on rough roads or for pot holes. Radiator could have just been faulty...
What year truck are we talking here though? no idea what you have 7.3, 6.0, 6.4, or 6.7
