I bought a 95 F150 ext. cab 5.0L recently with just under 90,000 miles on it to use as a daily driver/work truck. I've never owned an F150 and was just wondering if there was anything that anyone had problems with at this mileage that I should replace or take care of. Here is a short list of what I'm already planning:

-New Plugs and Wires
-Replace all hoses
-Oil and tranny flush
-Replacing fluid in both diffs, and transfer case
-New fuel filters and pumps
-Basic brake check
-Alingement

If there is anything that I might be missing or that usually fails at this mileage please let me know. I want to get it in shape now so I don't have to mess with it later. thanks.

 

looks like you got it under control. Don't try to fix what ain't broke.

good, thanks I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything

 

An alignment is only necessary if you are having front end parts replaced. Don't waste your money.

 

New belt,
Run a can of top end cleaner in the motor,
New cap + rotor,
PCV,
Don't flush the trans - simply change the ATF... may incur more problems,
Flush brakes,
New thermostat + gasket
Flush the old Power Steering fluid,
Grease suspension Zerk fittings,
New air filter,
Change axle fluid(s)
Change transfer case fluid (if 4x4)
Balance the tires and rotate them
