[QUOTE="Khilborn, post: 1109149, member: 22728"] I have a thread about the Raptor I am looking in to buying and it is used so I thought it would be a great idea to compile a good checklist on what to look out for. This is a work in progress so if you can think of something that is not on here, please reply and I will add to the list. Inspection: - All lights (fog, brake, blinkers, reverse, etc) - All Gauges - Power windows - Power Seats - Under carriage -- Bashed in skid plates and or scrapes - Transmission shifting while driving (Should be smooth?) - Alignment - Leaks -- Shocks -- Axles -- Motor, upper and lower - Gap between bed and cab (should be even) - Gaps between the tailgate and bedsides - Check 4 wheel drive. Make sure it engages - Tire life - All speakers working. - Power steering pump, lines for leaks - tie rods for tightness - Steering linkage tight - Rear shock mounts for cracks - Rear leaf springs for cracks / missing parts - 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. [/QUOTE]
