I'm looking at a 96 B4000 4.0/V6 4x4 LE with 103,000 miles.

What should I pay attention to when looking, aside from gallons of oil underneath... :)

Thanks!
Jason

The Fuel Filler Neck was My Biggest Issue(expensive part and labor)....Tranny Noise Or Clunking..... Regular Service's with proof is a good Idea too,Pretty much anything listed above,Most Of All Common Sense,If something doesn't look right to you it most likely isn't.......

grab a corner and rock the shit out of it. if it doesnt make any weird clunks or noises then mounts and stuff should all be good.
