I'm in the market for my first diesel and from the limited research I've done and based on my needs (large interior space), the F250 CC appears to be my best bet. I've been looking for quite some time within the $18-$20K price range (I always buy used cars/trucks) and have come across an '02 F250 CC 4WD Lariat with 133K miles for $19K. It seems to be in really good shape considering the miles. That said, what are the major gotchas with a 7.3 with this number of miles? From what I've read, the primary one has to do with fuel injectors and the fuel pump or fuel delivery system (bear with me, I'm BRAND NEW to diesels). Any tips or help anyone can provide. I'm open to any comments.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Dude, 7.3 is rock solid. I think the only problem you are gonnd have with such a truck is the PMS!
