look to see what kinda oil filter is on it. if its a fram, be very weary of it. ive seen two trucks personaly that used fram oil filters that the motors lost a cylinder because of trash in the oil squiter. infact just got done rebuilding one of em.

ask the guy if ha has tabbed the kdp.

look at the IP and see if the te,per srew is still in the afc housing. this will tell ya if the pump has been turned up any

my sons truck was bought at 305k. never turned up till we got it. we had to put a new head gasket on it. cyls looked good. it was always serviced good. kinda depends on how they are taken care of.
