Hi guys. I'm new to the board and am looking at a 2001 f250 with the 7.3 diesel engine. It will be used to tow a cargo trailer to Alaska. Has 165k miles but my rancher friends say that's no big deal. Anything I should be aware of before I decide to buy. It's a 4x4 in good shape. I'm in central California so it's a 3500 mile tow each way but the fishing is way worth it !!! Thanks for any input...Tom
