2007 Ford f350? Known issues?
I'm looking at a pretty good deal on this. Runs good, low miles. Any known issues with this model? It's a diesel but I'm not sure the engine size yet, they have to call me back

I had a '03 purchased new. Ford replaced the engine at 32k miles due to leaking bedplate (re-man went in). Same thing w/ 2nd engine, but just a drip---nothing too serious. Added: Banks Monster exhaust, Transferflow replacement tank. 2 inj went at 70K (but 40K on engine). As the years went by: couple more inj went, A/C compressor blew apart, intercooler went, FICM went (repaired via FICM repair--awesome), EGR replaced at my doing, exhaust leak behind turbo (not related to Banks pkg). Had a couple re-flashed done along w/ another repair which I can't think of at the moment. Still had orig starter and alt. All the while, it also had the normal wear and tear items replaced as well. Sadly though, last year it was developing exhaust manifold leaks and box was rusting out pretty good and had to have the A/C system done completely over due to shoddy work 1st time it went. By now it had 160K but could not see putting 5 grand more in it and it being 12 years old. Traded it in for truck in sig. Overall, I was very happy w/ the '03 and truck pulled camper in sig very well. Decent mpgs, nice ride, leather etc. Would have loved to keep it, but not cost effective to do so. New 6.7 is AWESOME!!!!
FWIW, I lost my shirt on trade and saw later via net search, some corner lot dealer had it on his lot for double what I got for it. Anyone that was seriously looking at it would see the box was kaput and needed replacing , manifold cracks were welded before I got rid of it as an attempt to get me thru winter, but no guarantee it would hold up. So if one was serious about it, could talk seller down almost 5 grand right there. But, it's no longer my problem and sad to part with it, but new truck is a beast, just like GM's and Ram's are.
