2000 - 2003 Diesel Excursions...
7.3L or 6.0L
4x4
Loaded options
I am looking into something described as above with 45-80K miles on it. What starts going wrong in and after these timeframes/mileages and what should I look out for, other than the 2003s that have the first editioon 6.0L?

We have a friend that is looking to possibly sell his. It's a 2000, XLT, 7.3 diesel, 4x4, dark blue, dual air, loaded with 100K miles. Never had any issues with the truck. Let me know if you want to talk to him.

ABA, thanks. I am real estate shopping before purchasing a truck, and while I like yours, I just don't want to drop more than $28K or so on a used diesel one day. I like a nice truck as much as the nice guy, but just don't use it enough to warrant a big ticket truck. I'll be down next weekend.

Sydwayz: The 2003 6.0's are legendary for having a lot of issues. Ford brought these out too early. Do a search.
The 7.3 is a trustworthy engine- just noisy.
Replacing the Av? or adding to?

Thanks Wannabe. I was actually with Boot/Joe when he grenaded a black 2003 6.0L Ex. I would replace the Avalanche someday when I get some more things in line. I really, really like my Avalanche, but have my heart set on a black vehicle with black wheels/chrome lip (LOVE that look) someday.
