I'm sorry guys I guess I wasn't specific enough in my inquiry. I have done some searching here and on DP.com and am just looking for anything additional that I may overlook if I go to look at a used Duramax, '03 or up.
I know the injector issue; that's the first thing I ask. I know of the "limped" code, and to look for some sort of plug in the exhaust somewhere that would show there was a programmer or chip installed for EGT's at some point. What are some other questions, other than general maintenance, that would be good to ask on a 90,000 to 130,000 Duramax? Do they have rear-end problems with bigger tires (Wouldn't think so, 14ff...) and should I be concerned if they ran bigger tires without regearing?

When you're 18 life is a crapshoot. I bought my truck, it's 8 years old now, and she's done me well. There's the usual, but I don't trust dealers or their "warranty" work anyway, so it's not that big of a deal; and not to mention I don't have the coin (or the desire) to buy a brand-new truck for 61k.
