OK so i have a 2003 7.3 turbo diesel single with 196k on it.Went to a dealership to by a part and saw a 2001 7.3 turbo dually 4door, leather everything brake controls,seems like the whole shebang,all for 17grand out the door with 118k for miles,and i want it for a 5th wheel.I am very interested in this and wondering if its worth it considering their is a oil leak coming from the pan,something is wrong with the power doors,tires are junk and make a loud winding noise when going into gear.Could the oil leak and the winding noise lead to more serious problems and if i went to get those problems fixed,how much would i expect to shell out roughly?Any info on this,or anything else i should know about for that year would be awesome.Thanks all

the oil leak is probably just some kind of gasket. the whining may lead to a problem though.
