Default What to look for?

I just bought a 2006 Mega Cab 4x4 3500 with a six speed. It has 183,xxx miles and is in great shape. Is there anything I need to be looking out for on this truck? I traded my 98 24v for it and got a great deal. Love the ROOM!! What are some of the more common bombs for this year? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hey Grunt - I would think that the injectors are worn with that many miles and are not performing up to their potential. Your mileage, smoothness, and power are all affected by them being worn. Before a perf box (I know you are shopping already!) get new tips and have the injectors tested then buy a box. PM me I have a few other ideas, I have same truck but with auto.
