Question about Over Heating PSD and not runnig right
 

Guys there is a truck for sale 2000 PSD with 150k miles ...........its not running right says the he drove it and it started to get hot went to his buddies house cuz it was close parked it and now it will fire but it runs like its missing cylinders? Ok guys should I take a chance on this truck? He is asking 6k for the truck crew 4x4? What could be the issue with the truck injectors? electrical? I had a 93 IDI 7.3 so the PSD im not too familiar with YET. HELP GUYS PLEASE I might go take a look at the truck Sunday.

Chach :U:

if it ran hot it could have blowed a head gasket. depending on if he had any performance adders ie programmers on it it could be an injector tip that is bad.

it's hard to run a PSD hot just once to the point that you blow a head gasket, because the oil gets too thin for the injectors to fire good and it runs real bad. You're probably looking at an injector or two couldn't handle the heat. I'd try to talk him down to about $4500 and go for it.
