Not knowing what part of the country you are located; check the
underside of all fender wells, and the underside of the bed/cab
areas for rust. Check the options list (under the hood) to see if the
paint code matches the truck (to see if it was painted a different
color), look at the bolts along the tops of the fender (under the hood)
for signs of paint scrapes (lets you know if the fenders were ever
removed-- body damage repairs). Drive the truck and note ANY sounds
(don't play the radio while test driving)... Check the brakes for
warpage (it happens), but expect it... The trouble codes should all be
the same (for the most part).
Good luck!
