Going to look at a Dmax tomorrow suggestions?

I plan on crawling all under to look for shiny spots on the undercoat, left from something being worked on, but what else should I look at? Its an 05 ccsb 4wd with 50K on it, they are asking 27, Im going to offer them 24.5 OTD since trade in value on it is 21.5. Im not going to be able to sleep, its teh EXACT truck I want and is only a 25 minute drive from me. After deciding what I wanted to do in the other thread, I hopped on autotrader and there was the truck I had been looking for with no luck for the last couple of months, oh the irony and great timing.

i haven't really heard anything bad about those trucks. i would just check the rear end, tranny, and the front axle for leaks. i know chevy doesn't great seals for those, you have to replace them every 30k or so.

The Dmax is an awesome truck, 50k is low miles. Ive had a new one every year since 02, and put about 170k hard miles on each one. I mean like 20+ bottles of nitrous and huge tuners hard. The 05s are good trucks

I guess Ive been lucky. Never had any issues with any of those.

Good luck with your purchase. My '03 ext cab 4x4 has about 190K on the clock. It's a six speed and still gets 22mpg when I don't tow anything and drive under 70mph. The only probs I've had were tranny/clutch/flywheel related. Might have had something to do witht the power programmer set a 365hp for just about the entire life of the truck. The next drop of oil I see from any leak will be the first. I just change fluids at recommended intervals....never have to add.

My suggestion is buy it.

doesnt really matter- motor is covered for 100,000 miles GO FOR IT!

Well the service manager took it home last night, they are waiting to see if he is going to buy it, I knew it was too good to be true.

Hopefully going to look at an 06 tomorrow if the dealer will work on the price with me. Damn this **** is a PITA
