Nice post fxdwgi!

IMO $22k seems high even though the mileage is low. The 2004 model year means it is out of warranty (or almost).

I would think that you could knock off a few thousand OR get a 2005 or even a 2006 for close to that asking price. A year or so left in warranty is a very attractive benefit.

The only thing I would add to fxdwgi's post is to save up money for an SCT programmer that would custom tune your truck for the EGR delete. It really does add reliability to do both - it is not just a hp adder (assuming you have installed head studs). Also I would suggest that everyone needs gauges - the most important are fuel pressure, exhaust gas temperature, boost, coolant temperature, and oil temperature. These gauges help you avoid problems and are VERY helpful when troubleshooting.

Two very important things to watch are 1) fuel pressure and 2) the temperature difference between EOT and ECT
