TCJ would be 2008-ish
1) those vans came with EGR, so if it wasnt serviced and properly decarbonized, that may be one item to look at.
2) pre-2010 models came with copper injectors washers, they are known to break down and end up in the sump and clog the oil pick up.
I know about 3 ppl this happened to and they all lost their engines.
This washer is now sold as the upgraded silver one.
3) take a look at the tranny fluid, see how dark it is, this may give some insight into how well it was maintained
4) test the 4wd engagement to 4H and 4L
There shouldnt be any grating to engage.
Other than that, expect usual wear on a vehicle thats 14years old now.
Hope this helps
