It's possible. Visit edmunds.com with more details. It'll show you what the truck is worth.

I would low ball see if they jump, thats good mileage on an 03. Can you get pictures of it....Also always best to see if they will let you take it to your mechanic to check it as well.

They suck up power (parasitic loss). Definitely the weak link in the driveline.

It's probably time for all the usual maintenance -- hoses, belt, plugs & wires, etc.

I wouldn't let mine go for less than $10k but we don't know if the one you're looking at is regular or double cab, 2wd or 4, or the trim level. I'm at 77k miles
