                    I like your direct marketing to us genius'es. Real timesaver!

                    If your trying to save up for mods, then you can appreciate when mods are already applied. The price is average for the stock unit, but the mods make it a bargain.

                    I'd pass.

                    It sounds like the **** was beat out of it... 25k and new rotors and pads when its only on 35s...

                    FYI i'm not sure who the direct contact for this truck is at this point. It is being sold because the owner is in the military and was sent overseas. Like i said, still waiting for a reply.

                    I agree.

                    Be very careful when buying an already modded vehicle. You could end up with something that spends most of it's time in the shop.

                    I'm going to have new rotors and pads on my truck with less than 20,000 miles.

                    Who says he didn't have a TSB performed which required new rotors and pads?

                    This is how i look at it:

                    Value wise it seems like a good deal. It may have been driven rough but it may not have. If possible talk to the owner, although I'm sure he will tell you it was driven easy.

                    Its only got 25K miles so you have 11K miles left of warranty and you could always purchase an ESP.

                    I say if it drives well then its a go. I'd also say take it to a mechanic you know and trust and let him evaluate it

                    well im sure the warranty is gone due to the lift , but thanks for the replies. Cant really say much besides thanks until i find more info about it / get pics.

                    Sounds like a good deal. I would also the VIN number to a local dealership and have them run a report on it for you, so you can see how much work has been done under warranty.

                    Thats a good idea. And JBM just cause it has the lift doesnt mean the warrenty is voided remember that.

                    The only way a warranty can be voided is if something went wrong in DIRECT relation to the mod(s).

                    Being said, if your engine blew up for some weird reason, they can't deny you warranty because of your suspension lift, as it does NOT have anything to do with the engine.

                    Also, since I noticed that it does have some engine mods, they will have to show identifyable proof that say your aftermarket intake caused the motor to break. Which is VERY hard, and usually a mod like that won't make an engine break... unless it fell apart and say a screw fell inside the intake manifold... but they've got to have proof.

                    A dealership can do as they please. If they don't want to warranty your truck because of the mods, they will find a way not to. Just like some dealers require you to have all maintenance records (including oil changes) before they will touch your truck. Warranty or not.
