Panterra, That one looks nice and price seems better. 03 is my favorite. Is it ho or so 47re or 48re....taker for a ride. Spend some time between 60mph and 70mph and check for THE vibration. Check the u joints especially the front shaft ones. Open up the observation port on the tranny and check out it out. Get an oil analysis done if you have time. I find CAT dealers the fastest for testing here. Check the ball joints they should be good but they are expensive to replace them all which I'm doing a t 135k miles. Go for it if all is good. ks
