Trade
I have a 2003 jeep wrangler bone stock, except radio and tires in great shape. Around $9300 invested. I had a trade offer of a 2004 6.0 f-250 power stroke with 130,000 miles, lift , wheels, tuner, and few extras. Only Catch is truck needs high pressure oil pump and has been sitting for a little while other than that it is in great shape. New to the Ford world and the diesel world. Any thoughts, tips or advice. Let me know. Thanks.

You didn't say much about the Jeep, like if it is a 4 or 6 cyl, miles, etc.
I sold my 2000 TJ Sport with 40K miles, 6 cyl., auto, rubicon (stock) wheels and tires and a winch on it, and it was a soft-top only, for $12,750. And I had multiple folks showing up at that price...
130K is a tad early for that HPOP to go, but once you said tuner, all bets are off without a lot more info....
Depending on where you are, who or if you do the work, the HPOP can be less than a grand to several grand +. The question is if that is all that needs doing. And there still is strong demand if you have a straight 6 Wrangler of that vintage -- it's one of the better years depending on a number of things... Daimler was doing some heavy quality hammering on the Chrysler guys back then, and Lordy knows they needed it, so some of the better stuff was coming out in the '00 to '04 range...
Sorry if I'm taking a side street on your Q here...

Straight to point, if it were me, with just the info you shared, I would not do it. And I usually am always for it. But unless you specifically know what is going on with this truck, and do a diligent check of the whole system, I would be shy at this point. There are alot of gaps in the OP's post. Need more specific info.

could be as simple as a dummy plug, injector leaking, IPR valve clogged or worse. Maybe easy if your a fix-it guy, more expensive if not. Look it over with a knowledgeable person to help make a good decision.
Good luck!
