Default Buying 03 lb7 ???

I'm thinking about buying a 2003 reg cab 2 wd 140k for 6800$ this will be my first duramax and just makin sure I don't have to worry about something breakng. It's stock 2 owner truck it's had all the injectors replaced which are still under warranty. Do u guys think this is a good buy and a truck I can drive everyday with no worries ? Note truck doesn't smoke and runs great all opionions appreciated thanks

might need to ask about wheel bearings, ball joints, upper a-arm bushings, tie rod ends, pitman arm and idler arm. inspect anything that hasn't been replaced.

Thanks , what about head gasket? I was told by a friend of mine that they could have a blown head gasket with no loss of power or smoke . The truck being stock with no mods ever I wasn't that concerned about it. Should I be ?

sorry i hadn't checked this lately. look at the coolant tank, if the head gasket is or has been blown they will turn dark or black on the inside a lot of times.
