need help with 94" 7.3
I was wondering what you guy's think of the the 7.3 non turbo engine's. I am going to look at a truck on Saturday it's a 94" F-250 7.3 non-turbo, 4x4 and auto with 102k. Anything I should look for, I know the turbo 7.3 are good but how are the non-turbos? Also the owner said no plow was on the truck. I am looking for a 2nd work truck and was wondering how the 94's were.

As for the truck, I like that body style. It was one of the last vehicles made with wing windows.
They can be prone to rust, so be careful there. Examine the frame and fenders carefully, especially the rear fenders, and examine the doors.

I pull a landscape trailer, not looking for a hot rod but just something that will pull and I'll probably put a plow on it. I like the body style also, and the seller said there is some small amount of rust. I just want something as a second truck so if something goes wrong with the new powerstroke I have something to get work done with. He is asking 5k for it, it has all power, alum wheels and the tires have about 75% life left. How long do these engine run, it has 102k is it alot for that engine, I know guys with the turbo 7.3 with over 200k without a problem. I
