Still Shopping!
I've been really putting the effort into finding the RIGHT one.

I've noticed two of the trucks I've looked at have had malfunctioning power mirrors, one also had a battery drani problem, and another had a non functioning power door locks, and cruise control.

Is this a common occurence? Are electrics an issue with these?

If its just one of the quirks of these trucks (99-01) I can deal with it. Otherwise I'll still be seeing it as neglectful previous ownership and I'll continue to shy away.

One truck that is in the running is a '99 250 automatic with only 67k (a lot less than the ones I've been seeing). It's primary purpose was hauling one of those big 5th wheel rv's. What do I look for as far as towing abuse? (I use my trucks for work, not ususally towing, so I'm green here).
