Smile can anyone help

I have been wanting to purchase a used ford f-250 for years. Ive always wanted a diesel truck. Anyway I have found one that I like. its a 1994 f-250, 172,000 miles lifted , 7.3 liter direct injection turbo diesel. the body is in good shape. anyway , has this model any defects. or things that its known to have. I have never owned a diesel truck. I did own a 1982 ford f-250 5.8 which was great.

Read through the forum here to get a good idea on the truck. The PSD came out of the box pretty well, and now I am sure you are at the maintaining phase of ownership.

I got close to 270,000 miles on my 94.5 psd. Replaced the clutch(Dual Mass flywheel) and an alternator. Still runs strong. Like stated above just make sure its been maintained well and you'll be aright.
