Any other opinions on:
How many miles is it before I need to be thinking about getting a new motor or tranny?

Motor should be fine NA if its taken care of obviously. If no one ever changed the oil then it might have issues. Don't think too many people that buy these trucks are that type so it should be fine. The tranny is a crap shoot you either got a good one or one with issues, do a search on the 48RE here for info. Without getting too involved if the tranny has trouble on the 2-3 shift (delay under WOT) it is going to need some parts to fix it. Mainly clutches, valvebody, shift lever, accumulator, gov solenoid, front band, and some other things if you want them. The autos tend to have timing issues due to the valve bodys having low line pressure. This has been discussed numerous times that is why I am telling you to do a search. I am sure others are tired of reading about it. It is about $400 in so in parts to remedy and it will shift like a MO FO afterward. Could be a little more or less depending on what you want to spend.

I would not be afraid of that truck. Just check it out first. These are the most fun large vehicle that can haul stuff and go fast out there. It can be a truck when it needs to be and a sports car whenever you want it to be. I love mine and have 21,600 on the OD.

20k 04

If left stock and maintained, these motors will likely go well beyond 200k miles. Hell, a big block chevy will go 300k pretty easy so it should be fairly similar. I had an 06 QC and it was very reliable. You should be good and the price sounds pretty good if it is only $20k and change.
