Got my truck about 6 months ago with 140k miles. It's a 2000 4x4 offroad XLT. The truck is super solid and drives like its brand new. I'd like to go through the things that haven't been done on it, like a trans rebuild, or plugs and COPs, just stuff like that. But Idk what has and has not been done. I would like to maybe get in touch with the previous owner and just ask a few questions. Anybody know of a way to do that?

What I did with mine is asked the ford dealerships in the area to check my vin and see if any work had or haden't been done... sure enough, there were records at one.. other than that, did you ever get a phone number or email from the owner when buying it?

Bought it used from a dealer, they must have got it in trade. I got a carfax on it and it had some of the trim replaced, but no service records or anything. Could a set of factory plugs and coils last almost 150k?

O ok. Yeah thats how I got my truck too. Just call the ford dealerships and maybe you will get lucky like me... coils and plugs will need to be changed before 100k on average but you could maybe push 115-120k, you just don't want to blow a plug

Ya for sure, I'm thinking about just having it done for piece of mind. I sure would like to know the history on it though! Lol

Yeah haha mine had no maintenance done on it according to the records at the dealership besides oil changes/tires and supension work when I got it at 85k miles so I went ahead and got new plugs/coils/throttle body cleaned and I changed the iac

I've cleaned the tb, and replaced the IAC. Heard good things about the Accel coils, and found a site that has them for 175 shipped for all 8.

all my plugs and coils are original except cylinder 3 which i blew and i have 146k miles.

That's how many miles I have, like exactly. My fuel mileage is s#%t and I'm thinking they have probably never been done

I actually ran into the po of my truck a couple weeks ago at a stoplight. He has a Chevy now
