Hello to all. I have been reading through the threads like a maniac over the last few days trying to educate myself.
I have found this truck. Is this a good place to start? I am gathered through reading that 2006 is a very good year for this truck and you get the 6 speed allison to boot.

I am going to be calling the owner on this truck but wanted some input on what type of questions to ask that are vital to evaluation of this particular truck. You guys know all the idiosyncrasies of this platform so I would like to draw on your knowledge.
Of course the normal stuff will be asked, 1 owner, what did you tow, how often, review records keeping, physical examination carfax. Has it been chipped? Stock filter assembly,
This truck is about 5 hours away from me so I dont know if I can coordinate a evaluation by the local chevy dealership.
The thing I really do a poor job with is evaluating if a car has been damaged, wrecked, and repaired.
My current Ford Expedition is terribly inadequate in towing our 20' enclosed trailer with a loaded gross curb weight of about 6,000-7000 pounds.
