Buying 2004 F-150?

[big_chris]

I'm looking at a 2004 F-150 Supercab Xl, just to add as a work truck. It's an automatic V8 with 92,000 miles on it with the 4.6L engine. I was wondering if there's anything I should look out for if I go to see/drive it and if it's a good deal. The asking price is $6000. It's from a dealer and looks pretty clean also.

No one got any ideas?

check the rear u joint. If the rear u joint goes bad you have to replace the whole driveshaft, they dont make u joints for them. I mean thats for the 5.4 I dont know if the 4.6 is the same.

hopefully you wont have a problem with the front end. i had an 04 and had horrible problems with the front end. chewed through tires like no other. ford replaced everything mutiple times an got several alignments. but hopefully mine was just a lemon lol

One of our crews has a 4.6 liter and it seems to do way better than the 5.4's for some reason. It has something to do with the timing chains.
