So its brand new used, any issues I should be weary of?

So far needed, oil pan gasket possibly the steering dampener, thermostat as the dummy guage reads low but the heat is blowing good. Every window motor but the drivers wont auto roll...Its a 4spd 3.ltr with 149k previous owner passed an I greatly purchased. Im just lookin for typically fixes so call it preventative. Lemme know any advice would be appreciated!

3lt v6?
Large engine for the bay. In warmer climes and under load can overheat.
Also have a reputation for blowing heads.
No overdrive gearing, which seems an utter waste of that motor.
Rust around top of windscreen, front n back.
Thats about it. For what they are they do pretty good.

Every used vehicle is like getting a cat in a bag. You hope for the best while being ready for the worst. Since they are still around, that means they were built strong - the weak ones are already in the scrap yard. Congrats on getting a good Gen 2 Monty. Love that body style. Some day I may go retro myself

Its got OD 3spd with the shifter button. Tach don't work buts its an auto so no worries, replaced upper an lower ball joints along with shocks, great pick up and braking oil pan gasket leaks bout 1\2 dollar every day. Time consuming repair I'll procrastinate for a bit. Rear shocks are next with possibly a HD spring set from either dodge or AMP um temp gauge is wacky but works maybe a flush would remedy. Grease points are a pain but nessesary, haven't engaged the tcase just yet I'm waiting for monsoon season and then MUD!!!
