just plan on a fuel gage and new lift pump very soon. And if auto you may end up with tranny rebuild in future or at least a torque converter. but other than that a good truck that will serve you good.

Well went to look at the truck and boy it looked like it had
600000 miles on it not 97000
the engine was covered in oil and i think the air filter
hasn't been changed since the truck was new. Looked like the
front seal was leaking and the fan blade was slinging it everywhere

Really ashamed how some people maintain there vehicles

the front oil probably from the breather bottle, it's in front of the engine and if you don't drain it will plug the radiator which cause to overheat. I would let the dealer check everything alignment, ball joints, etc. change the air filter, oil filter and trans filter. Since it's stock and no gauges have the fuel pressure check.
