Why would I post back about what i have done to fix the problem, when I am here saying I am looking to buy the truck, and asking peoples opinions of what the culprit of the problems might be. I am pretty mechanically inclined, meaning I could probably tear the truck down to every nut and bolt and reassemble, but i am not very good at diagnosing diesels yet.
The guy is asking 9k, it has dings and dents, but no rust, interior is clean. The only thing thats keeping me from buying are these problems... I think I am going to offer him 7500, and try and drive away with it for 8

Jake has summed it up. If the price is right, you have relatively modest mechanical ability, and the extra cash for to repair the issues. Get the truck.
I have a y2k myself. It was a vintage year for the 7.3.
Good luck

Yea I hear ya, its just nice to hear other people backing up peoples opinons. When just one or two people post it sounds like nobody has a clue of whats wrong.
