Just make sure to look it over good. There is a possibility of it having a 53 block. Slim but still a possibility. There are block number on the driverside of the block near the oil pan. If it is a 53, look on the passenger side to see if you see dried coolant. If you do RUN. If not continue looking at the vehicle.
If the truck doesn't have a after market lift pump plan on adding one as well as a gauge to monitor fuel pressure. Bosch specs the pump for 10 PSI minimum, I wouldn't run mine less than 15 PSI. But good luck its difficult to find a good used diesel truck at a good price.

Thanks for the info Ghostman. I was not aware of the "53 block" issue. I will be sure and look. And as far as the lift pump I'm aware of that hopefully the previous own has already replaced it. If not I plan on it. Which after market pump would you recommend?
