Default First Diesel questions

Hey guys! great site!

I was wondering if there where any resources out there that would help me find the production #'s on 94-97 extended cab, short bed, 5 Speed, 4x4, power-stroke diesels out there. I've been looking into them for awhile now and I think the styling and engine package would make a great first truck.

I didn't see mileage information in the diesel FAQ thread, what's a good amount of mileage to start off with if you want to keep it around for 10+ years as a DD and get another 250k out of it. Are there any powerstrokes out there with this kind of mileage? Or is the 1/2 million a cummins only thing?

If you start out with a good maintained psd with 200k on it you should be able to get another 200k out of it fairly easy. To be honest with you if you take care of any of them they will most likely out last the truck.
