Thats a good looking truck from what I can see in the teeny tiny picture. 340k is a lot of miles not for the engine but the rest of the truck. The 7.3 idi will run for a long time if taken care of. If the truck runs good and drives good and the price is right I wouldn't worry about it having 340k on it.

you didn't say what trans. it's got or if 4x4. but if it's a e4od thats alot of miles on it. and would look hard at the antifreeze to make sure there is no cavitation problems. rest of condition would depend on price and where the truck is from.
