used ford 350

I was looking at a used 2004 ford diesel 350 and i was wondering what are the problems that i need to look for before i take the risk of buying one. This would be my first perchase of diesel and i would like to make it a good buy so any help on what i need to look for would be great.
Thanks

One of the common recommendations is to get the VIN of the truck and run an OASIS report to see what maintenance has been performed by the dealership. You can actually obtain the OASIS report on this site.
