200k miles is getting up there for a PS and unless the price is very good would look elsewhere. Or buy it and put a 5.9 Cummins in it when the PS expires.

+1...funny enough this came up at Dinner last night. We all agreed that the older 7.3 was a far more superior engine, although it lacked the power of the newer 6.0. The 6.0 has been plagued with lots of expensive problems.
