Howdy all, had this 2008 4.7 from about 125k miles and approaching 180k miles now. Got it in 2014
Only have done routine maintenance besides a new A/C compressor at 175k.
4.7 still runs like a champ and that 08 slight rework seems to have given it some longevity and powah
it does have a slightly rough, or bouncy idle but it is consistent and has been that way since I've owned it.
Transmission still hunts for gears in the lower gears which drives me crazy sometimes, and occasionally takes a second to get into D after R
My main complaints are the usual,
suspension is rough like a skateboard on hard wheels, I am running the next gen 20s which is probably my main culprit
other suspension gripes as follows
clanks really loud over the slightest bump
squeaks embarrassingly loud
I know the bushings, and some of this front end will need servicing soon based on common complaints I see.
Steering was decent to starting to decline.
Any general advice or recommendations? Thanks All!
