Howdy, I'm kind of new to Fords and vans. I say "kind of" because this is the second Ford I've ever owned and I have been driving Ford vans for the last 4.5 years that belong to my employer. I bought my van for hauling mountainbikes, kayaks and canoes and doing some camping as well. I picked up an 04 e250 with 146000 miles for $1500 from my employer. Just befroe it got replaced we rebuilt the front end, replaced the rotors and pads and put new tires on it. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Wow! That's one crazy great deal! I too just bought a new-to-me '03 E250 extended body, 165K miles with all the good options: PDL, PW, A/C, remote keyless entry---paid $4500. This will replace my '00 E250 standard body pushing 265K miles----both with the 5.4 gas motor.
One thing I'll miss from my '00 is the raised roof and extended rear doors. Originally a wheel chair transport van I bought it from the 2nd owner who wanted to haul KTM bikes. The extra roof height and taller rear doors makes for easier loading, no more head bumping!
Nice find----it'll serve you well with just a little bit of maintenance. Oil changes and proper spark plugs will be your best friends for long, dependable life of your Ford van. BTW I've been a long time GM performance fan but even us Bowtie guys know good vehicles!

I've noticed some kind of resonance in the intake. It only does it at idle.
I found out today that they replaced the plugs and coils when they did everything else.
