Weird but not crazy on the starter. It happens, but some guys are over 400k on the original starter. Those that've had failures were able to overhaul with parts, or go re-man.

RE: Brother suspension. If your child will be driving the truck, I can't stress enough: Check-in with your brother to confirm which lower balljoints he used. There are no less than a dozen people this past year who learned the hard way on this forum. That doesn't include the dozens+ on the Facebook group. Kids are harder on vehicles and sometimes like to zip around and drive wild sometimes.

If 4WD, you'd be shocked at how much can puddle in the skid plate, if installed. A quick look up into the engine bay from the front driver's side foglight should tell you very quickly if you're leaking. Likewise, the valve covers can leak onto the manifold on the driver's side, and the manifold will burn off the oil before it hits the ground. It's unusual to hear someone say 'burns oil' if it has a 2UZ/V8. While the valve covers and cam seals are probably the #1 leak source, it's not unheard of for the oil filter cooler housing to leak also.

Yeah, the only other 'aha' I can see is, like, in some trucks the flex plate cracks. But that would make semi-loud tapping and potentially vibrations at idle if I remember the couple cases I saw on here. The steering shaft seal also deteriorates and allows a lot of sound transmission into the cab, so much there's a thread dedicated to it.

There's a few annoying cabin water leaks, the cowl bites everyone in the ass eventually.

Man you are a wealth of knowledge. I'll check about the ball joints too see if they're OEM. I'll run through the rest of this stuff too and see how that looks. Unfortunately it's 2wd, but I'll look around for any oil leak, it's not smoking like it's burning any oil, but who knows.
