what to look for when buying a used 6.4 truck

[6.4]

im about to purchase a 2008 f250 with the 6.4, 68,000 miles, bone stock saturday.
what are some things i need to check to determine if it could be a lemon or maybe messing up?
certain temps?
certain parts?

if you are buying from a ford dealer,get them to test strip the coolant and see for yourself the dark pink result...if it needs flushing,make that part of the deal.

i have been looking for strips to test the coolant and cant seem to find any. I even went to the ford place on Friday and they said they didnt have any.
