I figure if I can get at least 180,000-190,000 miles that will be fine..and then I can always rebuild/replace the motor with something better. Maybe I can get even more out of it...never know I guess.

That's a sweet looking truck, Kinda rare maybe? Most HD's I've seen are SuperCrews.

It was also the only year or 1 of the 2 years they didn't get the Supercharger IIRC. The 5.4L will easily last over 200K I am just over 200K and run mine hard everyday. I'd suggest an SCT Xcal 2 tuner, Efans/Ud pullies and an intake/exhaust combo to wake it up even more. Get the tuner last and they can tune it specifically for all your mods.

Sounds like a great deal for a truck in that shape.

I have been looking into SCT tuner actually for it. I'm a little tight for $$ so I was going to get that 1st then the other stuff later.

I heard it really makes the shifts alot better..is that true?

Yeah it firms the shifts up and you can adjust them higher or lower. Adds around 30hp.
