Sounds like a smokin' deal to me. Mine has 75000 on it and wouldn't even think about taking anything less than $20,000.

Other than the obvious, make sure you check the fuel pressure and ask him how many vp-44's he's put in it. If he tells you it's original that may raise a red flag. Very few I've heard of make it to 135K without a new vp-44. Also check the track bar, drag link, steering shaft, and ball joints as these wear on these trucks. Is it an extended cab or regular? If it's regular cab that may explain why the price is so low. I'd check on kbb.com to see for yourself. If it's in good shape it won't last long at all at $13,000.

Just keep in mind if it is in fact a 2000 then your getting the ETC (Standard Output) engine. The HO wasn't until 2001 model year. Not sure if you knew this or not, not very many of them around since 2000 was such a short model year.

SO can be an advantage if you have high hp goals though.

Something with the IP, I think...

Someone more knowledgable than me should be able to help more on this subject.
