I am looking to buy a 1997 F350 dually with 7.3 Powerstroke diesel. It has 300,000 miles, was used to deliver trailers for a manufacturer so are 95% highway miles. Runs very well, new transmission (auto) last year. I have a 1989 F350 with 460 gas and 150k+ and no problems, and had a friend with a 1989 F350 diesel that went 400k (he delivered trailers too) before an overhaul. I just want to use this around the farm to haul my "H" and "560" on my gooseneck (here"s my tractor connection for the YT site), haul the wife"s horses, and transfer cows between pastures. No long-distance moves, etc... maybe 10k miles per year. Am I stupid for even considering a high-miles unit like this? Everything seems nice and tight and runs great. I have never owned a Powerstroke before, anything to watch out for on a 1997?
