Restore/ Refurb 2005 Navigator 240,xxx miles. Where to start, trouble areas?
Hello all,
I recently became the owner of an 05 Navigator Luxury 5.4 v8 with 240,xxx miles. This is my first ford truck and I love it! I know you're thinking "thats a lot of miles" but I was blessed to have family that sold it to me for $1 for my birthday so I cant complain.
I am trying to find common areas to repair/replace before they go bad on me and if not I would like to know of any areas I should monitor. Seeing as our trucks are cousins I figured this would be a great place to ask.
I already have replaced everything on the front of the motor (timing chains, guides, seals, oil/water pump, a/c compressor) all my coils/plugs, alternator, battery and the passenger side wheel hub.
Are there any other things I should look into to get/keep my truck running like a top?
My goal is to keep this truck for a very long time and use it for trips, driving through snow and hauling heavy stuff. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
