bought a 03 7.3. picking up tomorrow

and doing the paperwork. It has 34k miles on it. Does it have the same auto tranny as the 03 v -10? I have one of those and it has been trouble free. Other than the CPS issue, anything areas else I should check or be concerned about a low milage truck? The truck looks new, and I can tell its been well taken care of, its 4x4, lariet trim, king cab.

Some of the members here have no class. How much? Oh, at 34k you should have just about zero to worry about. Tranny question, I don't know. But it does not matter because the PSD has so much more power that when you are comparing to how long the transmission lasts with a V-10 versus one of ours you are talking apples and oranges.

Yeah, I agree, how much again? Read recently that the 7.3L CC shortbox 4x4 is the most sought after used truck for the past 6 months and running.

Got back with it eariler today.
The Details:
It actually had 37k miles. warranty till 02/08.
Its a supercab, long bed, bright red with black leather bucket seats.
Its an auto 4x4 fx4, with floor shift case. it has adjustable pedals which is cool.
Also, Got a bed liner and tool box in the deal as well.
It does not have a reverse sensor which I liked on my current gas rig.
It also does not have any overhead console. I always thought all the leather ones did. ??
The Price:
I paid $25,250 from a private seller, plus I pay TT+L here locally. I shopped for almost 3 months, it was very hard to find a good price a newer 7.3. I wanted a manual tranny, but gave up. I am very satisfied overall.
