Youre probably due for your 3rd or forth set of brake pads and maybe the second set of ball joints. Seems like the engines and transmissions on these trucks are pretty solid. IF you have anything to worry about, you'll probly find it underneath the truck.

It all depends on what the truck was used for, and how well it was maintained. I drive an '01 QC 4x4, with 5.9l/auto, 3.92 gears. I have right about 50K miles on it now.
I've never had to repair anything, just routine maintenance. There's still plenty of brake pad left, and the rotors are straight. I did put new tires on it last fall. I could probably have gotten another 10K miles on the factory tires, but winter was coming up. The truck runs great, is very comfortable, and has a lot of power.
At 65K miles, there's a lot of things that need to be done, if they havn't been. Secondary ignition, brakes, tires, battery, fluid changes, etc. Usually, people and companies get rid of their vehicles when it's time to do all this. It's cheaper than paying for the maintenance. So make sure you see all the records and calculate what all that will cost you before deciding on a deal. It's great to get a vehicle at $1,000 under book. But if you need to do $2,000 worht or maintenance/repairs, it's not such a bargain.

thanx for the info.although the deal has been made,its from a large volume reputible dealer here in erie with a 125point check.its considered a certified vehicle(for what thats worth)...
i really didnt like it at 1st(white ext was the big thing)but im growing to like it more and more.i can let go of the wheel on the interstate and dont have to touch it for a minute(yes i timed it)something my zr2 couldnt do,with 1/2 the milage even.plus it has all this power i dont know what to do with..
thanks for the input.
