The Navistar 6.0 is junk to begin with, so I wouldn't be too worried about that. As for off-road fuel, it won't hurt the engine, per se, as the 6.0 was manufactured prior to EPA2010 regs, but it is illegal to use red dye diesel in on-highway applications.

Can you run off-road diesel in a 7.3L F250?

It is capable as long as it is off road use only. The off road diesel contains a red dye that stains the fuel filter, so if you're caught on road with red dyed filters or a tank full of red diesel you may get in trouble with law enforcement. Off road diesel does not have road taxes added to the cost.

Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for this one. On-road diesel is recommended for use in diesel motors in general.

Since 2007 most diesel pumped at any station in the USA or Canada is ULSD, regardless if it's on-road (clear) diesel, or off-road (dyed) diesel. The only difference is the fuel is that by using it as off road the taxes are not the same and it is cheaper. Dyed diesel will not affect your engine.

In theory off road diesel is the same as that you would buy from the filling station although it may not be as pure or contain the engine preserving additives that the major fuel companies add to the diesel you buy at the filling station. In many countries the duty paid on Road fuel is Higher than that of off road diesel and as a result you could be breaking the law if driving a vehicle on public roads that is being fueled with off road Diesel.
