Common gremlins I shoulds watch out for

[Bowebble]

In the market for a OBS 7.3 Power Stroke, just wanted to get some insight from everyone as to what sort of gremlins should I look for in these trucks and ask about when discussing a purchase? This will not be the first diesel I've ever driven or worked on, but it will be the first I've owned.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

RUST!!

Ask to cold start the truck, tells a lot about it.
Are you getting 250 or 350?

Look for front wheels with camber

Listen for wheel bearing

Oil leak from the oil cooler and in the valley

Smooth startup, ask to start the truck cold
