Default Info needed for novice '05 CTD buyer

Hey guys I'm new to this side of the forum...hoping to have a few questions answered from you Diesel Vets.

I am highly interested in buying my first CTD tomorrow. I found an 05 Reg cab LB 2WD ST pkg for cheap and would like to know some info on this year rig specifically. Has 173K on the clock. What do I need to start worrying about breaking or failing at this mileage? Fleet owned for 115K, private owned for 60K.....Any flaws with this model year?

I understand they made a few diff engines thro the year

-2005 standard 250@2900 HP and 460@1400 FT lbs Torque
-2005 High Output 250 HP and 610 Torque Model 610
-Late 05-07 325 Hp 610 Torque Model 610

Which one does it have???

Also what trans, rear end, and transfer case does it have?

Here is the VIN 3D7KR26C65G805926
I found out the vehicle was sold in the beginning of March if that helps.
***Also does this truck have front and rear disk brakes? Or drums in the back?

Any info I can get would be greatly appreciated and very helpful in my decision! Thanks guys!
