7.3 buying tips.
I am going to head out later this afternoon to take a look at a 2002 7.3. It's an F350, 4x4, four door with about 128,xxx miles. What are some things I should be looking for before I decide on a purchase? Thanks.

Thanks for the link! I have a question about #4.
4) Inspect turbo inlet side vanes, should be straight and not dusted or jagged. Try to move the shaft in and out and up and down. Any real noticeable movement by hand is bad. Open and inspect air cleaner assembly for an idea of how it was maintained.
Are the side vanes the turbo fins? It is the turbo prop I should be checking for movement on right?
