Do you happen to know the build date? Job 1 trucks have an issue with some injectors failing, this was solved in later builds. Some earlier builds had issues with the radiators leaking over time. They put a venturii(sp) tee on all builds to help with this as a recall.
Make sure it has all the recalls taken care of or will have all the recalls taken care of before taking possession. Mileage doesn't seem overly high, about average I'd say.

recalls to date if memory serves:
Crew Cab's, those with 30 Gal tanks needed a bracket placed in front of the tank.
I think jobs 1 had a seat bracket issue.
All 08's venturi T
Fuel injectors, limited recall as smotrs said.
Radiators accross all build dates. Seems to have calmed down quite a bit now.
Cracked DPF's. Mostly Job 1 and 2's 2008 myyear. My belief was a manufacturing defect.
So all in all not too bad for such a redesign and with the newer emissions.

Open the drivers door, then look at the door piller. I should at least give month and year there.

I would but the problem with giving it a once over in person before I make my decision is it is located over 1100 miles away. so if I decide to get it I will have to do this on the spot or it would be a wasted road trip. So I guess I'll just have the seller give me that information.

There is spartan, banks, SCT and few others, so there are options for you to pursue once you are comfortable.

ya one of the reasons that I am willing to go that distance for this truck is because it is exactly what I am looking for, with only 26,000 miles on it. I also don't plan on getting any upgrades for awhile, I just barely persuaded my parents into letting me get the truck. I just want to do my research before I start putting money into it.
