New (Used) 4x4 Service Help?


So I'm buying a 07 sport trac with 56k miles, 4x4 Auto 4.6L 3V.. not sure about the service in the past, it is one owner and in great shape so I'm not worried, but I'm thinking about doing this once I get it home:

1. Change Oil, put in Full Syn
2. Change Diff Fluid (front & rear) Royal Purple Syn
3. Change ATF
4. Change / Flush Coolant
5. put in some lucas fuel / engine treatment

Anyone got anything else they can think of, or feel like I'm going overboard on anything here?

Thanks

if your up to it, pull the front hubs and check the bearings and knuckles out, but if it was decently taking care of, it all should still be in good shape. Sounds like you have enough work to do already if your going to do all of that.

Change the plugs and follow the TSB on the 2 piece plug removal and make sure you have something to extract any that break on you.

Fuel filter. Its got enough miles on it that I'd take it in to have the intake flushed of any carbon build up.

fuel filter is planned, gotta get one.. did the oil, looked around and really no need to touch the ATF till 100k or the diffs...

no plus, coil packs, it's a 4.6L 3V!

I did get a nice pina colada air freshner

Thanks ALL!

grease all your pivoting points(control arms, wheel bearings, etc) change all fluids/filters and tune up...... its always a good idea to change the differentil fluid b/c you never know if its been under water/mud, especially in a 4x4
