It should start easy, not show oil in the exhaust (no blue smoke)and run out well. If it has the automtic tranny, it should shift smoothly and the fluid should be clean and smell fresh. Have someone put a diagnostic reader on it and see if there are any codes. Look for signs that it"s done a lot of heavy towing (overheated tranny oil sloppy shifts, etc). Sure someone could wipe the codes and change the fluids before selling it but the most of folks that beat the sh** out their vehicles won"t bother to put $200-300 worth of fluids in it before they get rid of it.
My 1999 F350 7.3L has 80K miles on it and it drives the same as it did when new. It does all the heavy towing (GN stock trailer and GN flated)on the ranch. I just brought a NH TD95D from near Roswell, NM up to Montana at max combined towing weight and averaged 10-11 mpg with it. I just recently put a SuperChip tuner (mild tuner) on it and it runs much better while it"s not any kind of a hot rod and I don"t rod it arouns either. Most folks will tell you the 7.3 L turbodiesel was the best engine ever put in the Super Duty Ford"s. I don"t know if that"s true or not but I"ve been very happy with mine. Good luck!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
