I would not be concerned about the 250 HP Cummins 8.3 liter C engine in terms of power.
I WOULD check the coolant-- it is a linered engine. If coolant SCA has been neglected (many first-time diesel owners don't even know about it) the cylinder liners are at risk-- a deal killer.
Here are the test strips I use-- any diesel shop should have test strips:http://www.wixfilters.com/Lookup/PartDetails.aspx?Part=24105
They check freeze point, pH and SCA concentration
