Need Help Abington, MA

Hey guys,
New to the site and looking for some help. Looking into purchasing my first diesel and have found a 2006 F350 6.0 with 137,000 in Abington Mass. I was wondering if there are any members in that area that would be willing to give me a hand in checking it out. I'd love to get a scan gauge onto it and see what's going on with some levels after reading through some threads. Again this is my first diesel and I'm going in pretty green on this one. Any help would be much appreciated. I plan to use the truck for plowing (personal residence only) and towing a covered trailer. Thanks guys!

One suggestion if this is going to be a plow truck, if it does not have a 140 amp alternator then get one. It might have one already but double check.

It's going to keep your FICM and other stuff happier, also make sure you have good grounds on the cables.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look for it when I go check it out. I've done some searching as well and found a powerstroke mechanic in the area I plan to call today to see if I can bring it by for him to take a look through before making a decision on it. I appreciate the information.
