I agree with everybody so far- diesel is the way to go. There are a lot of decent pre-Power Stroke Fords around, but they had problems with the glow plug system sensors. There are 3 of them, and its difficult (and expensive) to diagnose just which one is turning on your glowplugs at 70 MPH on the freeway, and instantly frying yet another set. There's an easy fix- run 2 - 10 guage wires from the relay terminals on the top of the right fender to a heavy push button switch you mount under the dash, and disconnect the sensors. Push the button to heat the glowplugs- you'll soon figure out how many seconds, depending on outside temperature. Also, always plug in the block heater if its going to be under 40 degrees. End of problem.
