No problem. I had a friend that had a 7.3 and it was a great truck but like zteknik said he straight piped it, put on an air filter and chipped it. It lasted about 3 years before it had problems. I would hate for anyone to buy a vehicle that was beat up and that one throw up too many red flags.
For that era you almost can not go bad with any of the three if you know what you are looking for the Ford's were bullet proof besides the HP fuel pump, the Chevy's Isuzu engine had problems with the heads warping but the replacement heads corrected it, and i do not know much about the Dodges but i think they were the 12 valve and were a little under powered but bullet proof engine, not too sure about the rest of the drivetrain though.
