Rust...underneath, back corners of cab, under/behind fender flares

Torn ball joint boots/cv axles

Take a jack and lift up each front tire to check for worn/bad hubs

Broken exhaust manifold bolts

Make sure AC/heater works on every setting

Those are just some things I have had to or plan to fix on my 03 4.7l Dakota.

Also, if the plastic bed liner is still in the bed the wheel wells are probably rusted.
