Been looking for a big 3rd row puller for the lake and kids as my 2022 Silverado gets pretty cramped loaded down with wife and 3 kids. Looked at lots of tahoes, Yukons, excursions, etc. after doing a lot of research I started looking for a 2003-2004 expedition with the 2 valve 5.4 pre cam phaser issues with as low miles as possible. Found her in Knoxville, 2004 with 5.4 loaded with every option and 136,000 original miles. Paid 5,000 Cash , and drove 3 1/2 hours to get her. Alternator went out about halfway home hope it’s not a prediction of things to come. Going to replace belt and tensioner and put a bigger nicer battery when the motorcraft alternator comes in. Anything else I should preempt or replace right away?

If you don't have maintenance records, coils, plugs, coolant.

congrats on the new ride! those expeditions are beasts. for preemptive stuff, maybe check the spark plugs and coil packs? i think the 5.4 can be finicky with those. not 100% sure tho.
