[QUOTE="C7M7, post: 1898158, member: 63352"] It has 37k miles and it’s being shipped from another state. It won’t be here until later but the service history looked great in it with no later than 8 months without going for an oil change. That being said, with the known issues of the early gen 2 plastic oil pans, what are the chances that the previous owners may have not known that the oil pan was leaking and none of the mechanics caught to it hence the frequent oil changes? They seemed to be reasonably timed with the intervals of oil changes, but this was just something I thought of. There were some rust concerns I had as well. From digging around I read that rust underneath can be common and not harmful, but another poster on this forum said to look for peelings or shavings. What should I look for in that? I only put a 500 deposit down so it’s not set in stone but mostly reserving the truck for myself aka first dibs. Is there anything else I should look for when the truck arrives? How should I drive it and what should I pay attention to during the test drive as well? Otherwise I love the damn thing and I can’t wait [/QUOTE]
