So, I'm no expert on buying used equipment. But here's my 1/4 cent. If they will open it up and allow you to visually inspect the cam, then go for it. At the very least I would get the dyno test done. Before I bought mine I had a 3rd party shop dyno test it. I paid for the dyno, the dealer ended up paying $5k to the shop for various repairs before they could even run the dyno test (NOx sensors, doser injector, labor). Of course despite this and other inspections everyone missed a broken motor mount that caused me issues just after I got it on the road. Others are right, it's a used truck, if you look hard enough you will find something wrong. Make a list of reasons why NOT to buy the truck and work through that until you are satisfied. At some point you'll have done all the research possible and will just need to make a choice.
