Question about diesel motor

I'm looking at buying amused truck and found several in my price range with a 7.3 diesel. What would be considered high mileage for this motor?

If you're looking for a used 7.3, I'd say anything over 250,000 miles would be something I'd stay away from, unless it's been meticulously maintained, and the owner has ALL service records.

Thanks for the reply . The ones I've been looking at were between 175k-225k. Is the 7.3 the best diesel motor Ford has reliability wise?
