I may be in the market for a Termi, something with a little higher mileage that will be in my budget. Likely 100K or more. What are possible issues I should be looking for?

A piston and con rod poking out of the side of the block? :)

Cooling head mod for 03"s, I was told 04's motors had the issue fixed

Revised Heads became available in 05', both years were susceptible to head failure under sustained 6th gear high speed runs...

Real problem isn't the head itself, cooling system under the above conditions shiats the bed in stock form.
Thing to look the closest for, poorly done mods n lack of maint.

Any idea how to tell if the heads were done?

The "head problem" is totally blown out of proportion.

Make sure you have a good quality corn broom to keep the women back with

Only issue with mine so far was the intercooler pump failed at 60K.
