What to look for

I am looking at a 2001 four door short bed 4x4 with a 7.3 and auto with 202,000 miles on it, is there anything specific that I need to be looking for when I inspect the truck, I have driven it and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. This is my first diesel pick up and I don't want to overlook anything. Any thoughts on the mileage, Ive heard they last forever, and what kind of fuel mileage can I expect out of it? Thanks in advance

I hope someone comes along that know where to find this list, but someone here actually put a buyers check list together. I'll see if I can find it. Or maybe someone else will come along that know where to find it too. Country
