I have to agree with another poster that the 4.7 was an exceptionally smooth, quiet, and reliable engine. I've seen them with a lot more that 200K miles and still never been touched. About the only thing I've ever heard were the timing chain guides wearing out.
The 4.7s were mated to the 545RFE in those years, which was also a solid transmission (if properly maintained).
Around here $4000 trucks have bodies like swizz cheese, but I see the OP is in California where that should not be an issue.
Best regards,
