I read he replaced the transmission 40-50,000 miles ago but I'd pay real close attention to how it shifts, Through the gears and into reverse. I put a new one in about the mileage ago and I'm starting to get a delay in reverse again and a hesitation from 1-2.
Coil springs. I replaced all 4 struts due to 3 broken coils. On 3 coils I had 6 bropen spots.
Wheel bearings, the rears went bad last summer, they have to be pressed in and out of the spindle.
Rear hatch hinges for the glass.. there was a recall, mine had the updated hinges but the left 1 broke again, I replaced the hinges with a kit that had both side. It was 57 per hinge or 75 for the kit, so the choice was obvious. The glass is way heavier than it looks and a lot more expensive than you would think.
Window regulators... roll them down, if they drop fast and slow suddenly to normal speed.. they're going.. I'm going on the 3rd one in my drivers door.
Not trying to talk you out of one... overall it's been good, a lot of this stuff you could expect in an older truck (besides broken coils I've never seen such a thing, but the truck sat level, hard to believe) ... nothing's perfect at that mileage, just throwing it out there, cause I'd want my mod money going to the mods or maybe you find some or the smaller stuff to bargain with lol good luck!!
