2001 engine problem

I'm going to look at a truck advertised with 129000 miles, with an engine problem. Whats the most common engine problem with a 2001? What all should I look for?

there are alot of "problems" that a truck could have or get. with 129,000 it could be very serious or very minor. find out exactly what is wrong with it and tell us about it and we can tell you how big of a deal it is.

Here is a write up that Mike did some time ago. It is a list of common things to look at when buying a 7.3. It has been very helpful to others in the past. After you look at the truck post as much information as you can. The more that we know the better we can help you
