anything to watch out for when buying a higher mileage ford with a 7.3 turbo diesel? say around 150k miles and is a late 90's model, like a 99

the vehicles i have owned have always had high mileage. havent had anything under 150k miles when i owned it lol. but i've known diesels engines in general will last longer than gas motors. but im just worried about big components going out that i need to look for when buying a higher mileage rig.

Check for oil blowby and make sure the turbos work and if the truck has been taken care of it will run for well over 300k
