what should i check for and why???

 

Has the undercoat (black goo)been scratched off around the lower a-frame nearest the oil filter. The bolt slips and will need to be locked down. Search for Herb's washers

I don't own a Lightning but I have read a lot of posts so here is what I have heard of:

If the front valence has been scratched.
Oragepeeling clearcoat

 

1. Paint runs on silver.
2. Aligned bed and cab.
3. Scrapes on bottom of front valance.
4. A crappy Clarion cd player that works. Mine didn't.
5. Correctly aligned rear bumper.
6. ANY engine knocks or "ball-bearing" noises at start-up or anytime thereafter.
7. Check front windshield edges for blemishes. Mine has a three inch streak out from the pillar down both sides.
8. Make sure you Lightning comes with a cassette player in the dash. Those are so cool. And rare. I think they are one of the only current production vehicles coming with them. It will certainly enhance their value. Sometimes, used CD stores have a bin with a bunch of f$%#&@-up used, sun-scorched cassette tapes in them. Other than the tape player, have fun and watch out for the black and whites.
