Buying a 6.0

What's up guys,
I've been craigslist hunting for a new 2005-2007 6.0 and was wondering if you guys had any tip to lookout for during the inspection of the truck. I have heard about the inspection of the radiator cap (leaking fluid) but was curious if there was anything else i can do to make sure i dont get screwed.

All help is appreciated,
Tanner

I would only buy one private party (no dealers) and single owner with records. These trucks are great when cared for. Abused, they can be a money pit. Lot of good info on the forum here.
