Re: General question on 97 7.3 Diesel

Check for just a few things, after motor is warm, pull the oil fill cap off and check for excessive blow-by (white smoke), put your hand on the drivers door and make sure it has a smooth idle, visually inspec for leaks etc, generally you can tell how a trucks been treated by how clean it is not only outside, but inside. Good luck!
