Looking for input

Ok heres the deal I have a 98 2WD explorer with 143,000 miles and giving it to my son to take to Minot AFB with him. I will be going with him and flying back. The Explorer has been a great truck for the wife and I and both my kids drove it as they grew up. We have had the oil changed reg. along with basic service. We did have to replace the fuel pump a few months back other than that nothing major.

Question:
What if anything should I do to the Explorer before our trip. We leave a week from Friday. I think I will have the transmission serviced, but should I have the plugs changed or what due you guys/gals think.

Thanks

Welcome to this forum! Check the belts & hoses.

Sounds right- probably plugs and wires, grease everything up, and check the brakes. Also check operation of the ABS since he'll probably need it up there in Minot this winter!

Many thanks for allowing us the honor of having your son protect and serve!
