Default What to look for?

Im looking at a few Durangos on CL. Don't care about year. I prefer the 5.9 but the 5.2 will do. I know the plenum gaskets go bad and Is an easy fix (learned that from this forum lol). Im really handy with tools so I know how to wrench on cars. Also anyone know where I can find specs for the Durangos? Engine specs, etc. Also a list of options that were offered at the factory. Difference In trim levels, 4WD systems. Basically what should I stay away from, what causes problems the most? Please and thanks.

The biggest difference you will see is between the 98-00 and the 01-03 trucks. 01-03 had an updated interior and some more options such as multi zone climate control, electronic shifting transfer case, etc.
