Default Thinking of joining the family

Hi Guys,
Hope this is the right tread...
I'm in the market for a new vehicle and looking at a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500.
Just wondering if there is anything that is real problematic on these?
I read through common issues thread, but is there anything else I should be paying specific attention to? Any recalls on this vehicle?
anything I should be thinking about, coming up on 100k miles?
It's an 04 1500 SLT quad cab with the 5.7L V8. 83k miles for $10,5000.

Thanks...

Just check front end parts, such as ball joints, control arm bushings, etc.
