Contemplating another 3rd Gen.

Ever since my beloved 03 Mounty was totalled by some b**ch in a beamer, I've been living in 2nd Gen land.

However, I may be getting some $$ from my dad for a new vehicle, and after much deliberation I find myself wanting another 3rd gen.

Now, the things I remember to look out for on the 3rd gens is the 2-3 shift flare, front/rear hubs/bearings, rear end whine, dirty IAC, and stuck brake interlock switch (All of those except for front hubs I had on the 03 Mounty). What else is there to look for? I'm sweatin this nice 03 XLT V8 w/103K with the Magnaflow Cat-Back, and BFG All-Terrains that look brand new from the pics.
