They were known to have injector issues on 01-04,(the LB7) in 04.5 they refine the engine (LLY) that had the injector issues fixed.

Check the vehicle history and see what has been done to it. How many miles does it have?

The injectors are the only issue. My '03 had them replaced early on and since then it's been running fine.
