I'm looking to buy another truck. If I"m looking at one of these trucks what should I pay attention to? Other than the standard body, frame, suspension issues.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I know how to evaluate a used vehicle. I just don't know what specific problems to be on the lookout for with this series of vehicles.
Ex: Ford 6.0 has headgasket issues
Ford 6.4 has problems with rear 2 pistons cracking due to the emissions system
GM 6.5 headgasket and block cracking

The LBZ with 6 speed Allison is the most desired and you will pay for that. Of the LLY trucks some have had cooling issues as well as injector connection troubles on #2 & #7 cylinders.
The higher the mileage, the more likely the injectors will be worn. The turbos on both are prone to having a sooted up vane assembly occasionally.
