SUMMARY

Arrived at dealership and acquired keys from salesman. All key fob buttons worked. On the exterior I noted the driver's rear wheel has a broken lug stud and missing lug nut. There are minor misc scratches around the vehicle. Normal for mileage and most too small to see in photos. Some scratches are deep on fender. The vehicle shows minor miscellaneous dings around the body. The paint shows some wear and tear that is consistent with age and mileage. The truck bed has been out through heavy use with lots of wear on the truck bed liner and tail gate. The underside shows areas of minor surface rust. See pictures. The passenger side fog light shows signs of water intrusion. The door mirror glass is blackening out and needs to be replaced.

Inside I noted the steering wheel shows some wear and tear as seen in pics. Seats show signs of heavy usage, particularly on the driver's side. Wear and tear heavily visible. See pictures. When key is on you can hear a loud clicking in the dash. When attempting to adjust the HVAC mode setting, only the floor vent works. It sounds as if a door within the HVAC housing is getting jammed or has gotten stuck. Transition from fresh air to recirculation also we intermittently jam up causing a clicking in the dash. Blower motor will also periodically go out.

I found evidence of a past or current transmission leak. It appears to be coming from the transmission oil cooler lines. There is a heavy varnish of transmission fluid underneath along the frame and other components, originating from transmission cooler lines. The engine oil is dirty and should be changed. Transmission fluid leak from transmission cooler lines. Active B1040 fault code for Mode door actuator circuit open. Other fault codes are stored, see pictures.

I found no issues on the test drive. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires or smoking. The transmission shifted as designed with no harsh engagement or slipping. The steering was responsive and the suspension was firm and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or odd noises. The brakes were firm with no pulsation felt.
