Check the status of the transmission. Any maintenance/repair records, fluid level/condition, etc. The A4LD doesn't have a very good reputation, so you'll want to know if it's been taken care of or not.

Ho boing and welcome to FTE

more things to check.....
Ball joints, axle U-joints, radius arm bushings, oil leaks from rear main and oil pan and valve covers, seized rear wheel cylinders and park cables, transfer case operation (goes into 4x4 ok).
That's all I can think of for now

Hey I worked for a forestry consultant I lived there for 5 years. I am on the east coast now. I miss some things like the fishing and I dont miss other things like the seasonal work. Its good to hear that the economy is still good.

I seem to recall working on RJA vehicles. Did they have Fords?
I think I remember the guy that ran RJA here.

I think they had one ford for a short period of time and one of the employees bought it. It was a 93ish f-150 blue ext cab.
