Does it have air ride suspension? Does it have 18 inch factory wheels? If so it may have ACE. If it has them, check to see if air ride bags have been replaced. Check to see if any vibrations while in park or while driving. Look for threads on flex plate failure, or front drive shaft failures. Also look for water I'm oil and check history of head gasket problems. If all of these are ok the price seems decent.

Thanks for the reply and info, im gonna hit him up later for more info.Im thinking now even if the vin falls in the death range with that kind of mi it should hold up.I just wish it had lower mileage.

I think if it falls within the death range and it has 155k its a safe bet to say that its one of the few without issues.
