Default Wanting to buy my first diesel

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and wanted to get some opinons about different trucks.
I'm in the market for a diesel and I have never owned one. I will be using it to mostly to pull horses. I have found a 2003 F350 crew cab 4x4 7.3L Diesel with 129,000 miles... Maintance records are available and as far as I can see current. This purchase would be from a dealer... So guys, what do I need to look for, ask, be aware of?? I am just a girl after all...
Thanks for the help

if you can find one with under 200k miles in good shape that was maintained well, then that is a good find. stay away from diesels that have had chips/tuners with stock parts because there could be a problem lurking around.
