Make sure it doesn't burn oil! I've put pistons and rings in several. They seem to start burning it around 75K. The people that see the most problems are the ones that use the oil life monitor to change their oil. If it has powertrain warranty you'll get it fixed for free. Trans cooler lines leak a lot also. Might be a colder climate issue though for us here?

I went to local gm dealership havn some sales just nothn I liked or could afford had a 08 ext cab 5.3 95k iles 4x4 for 25k I just told myself why waste that kinda money on overpriced used truck. I just hate to buy at a dealership not knowing original owner what they did to it and if was abused like crazy
Holy ****... I paid $26k with tax title and plates for my 2009 ext cab 4x4 LT brand new.

It's nothing against the member on here, not even sure who it is, but if you're buying a truck that heavily modded be sure to do a good test drive before you buy it. Make sure the tune is dialed in properly, fuel system is sufficient for the power levels
