[QUOTE="2014RubyRed, post: 961900, member: 16927"] Here are a few things that I look for: Underneath: - cab bottom (around drain holes) for rust/corrosion - inside the rear bumper - dirt build up in the skid plates and the transmission braces Engine Bay: - Power steering pump, lines for leaks - tie rods for tightness - Steering linkage tight Suspension: - Rear shock mounts for cracks - All shocks inspected for leaks - Rear leaf springs for cracks / missing parts Cab: - Check behind the rubber door seals for rust / corrosion - Wiring. Check the pass through wires for condition. Look under the panels for weird wiring. - Fuse box for obvious damage - Seat operation. Heater and cooler working. The bottom of these trucks will tell you how hard the truck has been played with. i wouldn't necessarily rule out a modded truck, as long as it was done right. Would rather have one with all the bells and whistles as most of these mods are designed to protect them from damage. [/QUOTE]
