Took a half day off, picked up the truck and drove it to my mechanic in e. Tx. It took him about 5 minutes to nix the truck. Pulled the cover to the air filter and the hose that runs from the air filter to the engine. Scraped at least a teaspoon full of gunk from the inside of the air filter hose which means the engine has pulled lots of dirt into it.

He also found a fuel leak and a water leak. Took it back and said thanks, but no thanks. Really a shame, truck was a top of line, leather seats, lots of bells & whistles. So I'm shopping again.

Thanks to all who replied with the good info.
 

Good plan on taking the truck to a mechanic. I am told that dry dusty climates are hard on engines and special attention is need for filters. Maybe not so much now that most roads are paved.

The flat panel filter on those 7.3's was too small and had problems with leaking around it. I saw one that was so plugged that it pulled the filter right up almost into the turbo. On any diesel, especially a turbo'd one needs special air filter attention in my opinion. A whole lot of air goes through those things.
 
If you have a CarMax in your area check with them for a used truck as they go over them and state inspect them here in MD. Hal
