Buying a 7.3
I have an opportunity to buy a 1997 F250 Super Crew with a 7.3 PSD. I am learning just from looking where to post that there are 2 forums for the 7.3 - 1994.5 - 1997 and 1998 - whenever. What is the difference? Should I bother to buy a 97 with 151000+ miles?

Yes a 97 with 151k is worth buying if its in good shape. make sure you pull the intake tubing off the turbo to check the condition of the turbo. and also read these sites
http://pages.prodigy.net/stevebaz/_i...az/index3.html
http://www.thedwilsons.com/powerstroke/PSD-Links.html
on the first link there is a used truck buying advice section that is worth reading.
as far the two different forums the 94.5 to 97 is for old body style trucks and the 99-03 forum is for superduty trucks. the engine are pretty much the same except the turbo's, a few sensors and the fuel system details (injectors, pump, HPOP)

That is a good idea! I think we need to compile a good buying a used truck thread then ask cookie if he could make it a sticky. I will ask cookie about it and see if he can do that.

The guy informs me that he won't be back until Friday. He's asking $9800, but KBB.com and edmunds.com says $8500 tops. I might offer the $8500 if it looks as good as the pic! Then I can remove the "other brand daily driver"!!
