Just bought an 02 explorer limited V8

Hi, just bought an 02 with the 4.6. I am just wondering what I should do maintenance wise. The truck has 227000 kilometers on it.

Are there common issues that I should look into right away?

I am thinking of replacing the tranny oil, diff oil and transfer case oil. as well as engine oil and coolant...

Thanks for the help

sounds like the great start might wanna check the air filter and fuel filter as well. some placces you can get a discount if you do all the fluids together. I had trans front n rear diff transfer case and oil change for $285 but that a bit of a deal from a place ive been going to for several years. Good luck and enjoy your new ride.

go ahead with diffs, transfer case, and transmisson
I would also look into the suspension checking for worn/broken parts
your also creeping up on the tune up time period so plugs/wire or ignition coils i think the 4.6 is coil on plug so maybe don't have to worry about wires, and fuel filter
