Unhappy what to look for

I'm looking to buy a 95 f350 drw c/c psd. The truck has 150,000 mi on it and is very clean even under the hood. Is there something i should look for on this year model. I've never owned a dsl and dont know any dsl mechanics. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the FW-16 additive and what are the implications of using it?

East Texas.........Damn!

J/K......I lived there for a while....

When I find a vehicle that has had the engine cleaned very well, in the back of my mind I am always wondering what they were cleaning up. Make sure that it doesnt burn or leak oil anywhere.
