Switch it to a synthetic and see if it burns any oil when you do. If not, keep running it. If it does, go to a blend or back to dino.

Couple of reasons the rear axle might have been replaced: Axle seals and/or spider gears. Both known problem spots.

Most of the LE trucks in that year did come with leather. If it's got factory wheels, they should be 6 spoke. 5 spokes belong to the SE models, and steelies belong to the XEs. If it's got an emblem on the rear tailgate that just says "5.6", it's an XE. If it's still badged on the tailgate it should say "5.6 LE".

Pics or a link would help us.

Why doesn't it have the suspension? The no fear package came with wheels, too. Not the 6 spokes. Sounds a bit...fishy.

It's a mutt, so I can't tell for sure what model it is, but I think it's an XE.

The wheels aren't even from an '06, they're from an '08+. The mirrors are big tow with no chrome caps and even most of the SE models had chrome mirror caps and I'm pretty sure all the LE models did.

It's been de-badged and re-badged. I think the No Fear package logo on the side was above the usual "V8 TITAN" badges.

It doesn't appear to have power pedals, another thing I'm almost positive all LEs came with, and most SEs.

But it's got a chrome front bumper, which is not what the XE models came with. Heck, it might be an SE.

And chrome door handles, but no chrome caps. Mirrors could have been swapped from non BT to BT. Or the handles swapped.

It's a mutt.

....or a rebuilt crash victim....

Sure hope not!

Chrome rear bumper, too. So at least the bumpers are consistent with either an SE or an LE.

Doesn't appear to have sonar, which would be more like an SE, not an LE.

 

[Carbeaux]

Through a dealer, sure.

Carfax is a good start.

Agreed on this.

 

[Carbeaux]

Having the body side molding rules out an XE. It has to be either an SE or LE. I forgot about that one earlier.

 

[Carbeaux]

I know you could get a bench with an LE as an option. Not many were made that way, though, and I'm almost certain that they were still all leather. I'm leaning more towards an SE.

 

[Carbeaux]

I can't see the climate control. An LE would have had the dual climate control.

Congrats on closing the deal. It's a sharp looking truck, for sure. I'll agree that those tails gotta go. I'm not a fan of altezza tails at all.

Enjoy the new ride, and happy modding!
