Advertised as rebuilt and ready to use, same year as my truck. What should I look for if I'm planning on buying them?

There isnt much to "check" unless the seller will let you send them to a machine shop first. I just bought a set of 07 heads that had 56k on them for 400 for the pair. I wouldnt pay much more than that unless they will gaurantee them. Otherwise you might be buying really expensive paper weights.

Your better off going to a local salvage yard. They'll probably be less than $500 for a pair as well. Most will sell them to you, with the understanding that you'll go to a machine shop and have them checked. That will save you a lot of shipping expense and possible headaches.
