Help!! Buying A 99-01 PSD???

I am buying a van and know nothing about the 7.3L. What should I look for when buying the van on the engine and tranny?? Is there any common problems or any quarks that I need to look out for.

The miles will be in the 150,00 range. Is that alot for a PSD?? How long do they usually last??

Does that tranny last a long time?? Being a van, I doubt that it did heavy towing, but still want to know what to look for.

I want a reliable engine and tranny and not get a lemon. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
