Hey Guys,
End of this coming week I'll be picking up my 03 Quadcab SLT 4x4 with a 4.7 and about 55,000 miles on it.
Older couple owned the truck and it has been sitting in a garage for the past 13 years, and has only been driven about 1,500 miles the past two years. I don't know much about the 4.7. But I read on here about the sludge issue, checked the oil filler neck, and found no signs of sludge. The truck was dealer maintained with records, and overall it is in pretty great shape.
I'll flush and replace most all the fluids, filters...and check out the pcv system right away. Hoses all seem to be good.
I've bought older trucks that have sat for a while without use and you seem to find most of the issues due to it sitting in the first few thousand miles.
Is there anything specific to these trucks that you guys think I should pay close attention to?
Thanks in advance...
