I have had my truck for a little while now. 97 explorer 4.0 xlt SOHC. Because I cannot find anything, im posting in here... What are some thing to check before getting the truck on the road? I have no maintenance records from the previous owner..
I've heard of balljoints going. but they seem fine. Shocks appear good. alignments is good. brakes are fine, the belts are not cracked or worn, it runs nice, I dont hear anything knocking or rattling... I'll be doing an oil change very soon. and all my fluid levels are topped off. Are there things I should be checking that I have overlooked?
I know very little about vehicles.. but Im all about preventative maintenance
Any of the knowledge of the older guys on here is great. Thanks in advance
