Picked this up from my parents. 5 3L V8, under 100k miles.
Anything I should be watching out for? Been well maintained by them.

Get those active cylinders shut off! Lots of different brands do it but only a couple actually do what is needed. I am not in that world to know which one to suggest.

RA003 Active Fuel Management Disabler Device, AFM/DFM Disabler Device Compatible with most GM V6 & V8 Motors 5.3 Silverado Tahoe Suburban GMC Yukon XL Sierra Cadillac for RA003 (white) https://a.co/d/e4b1m2IAutomatic fuel management delete chip. It plugs into the OBD-II plug. They have cam problems on the cylinders that turn off. I have had multiple. Current 5.3L Tahoe has neatly 400k. On it’s second motor.

They had issues with them. Seems crazy to need to disable factory settings to make them last longer. Seems that is the way it is though.

The trans went out on my son's 2017 Sierra. Two catastrophic fails in one family.

If it's been well maintained and has not had any problems so far keep good clean oil in it and drive it.
So is this a Silverado, a Tahoe, a Burb? What is the model lol, not the trim? Is there a pic I'm not seeing in the OP?
Let's see it! Beautiful years for those trucks. Love the ride quality too. They seem to look great in any color.
But what configuration? How many doors? What size bed? All factory everyrhing? Is it squatting? 4x4?
It’s from his dad, us older folks like too keep things they way they came….. Stock….. Like our women…… No modifications……
