Just picked up 2000 v10, with a 140,000 miles on it for 9500. I have already had someone offer me more for it. it is a crew cab short box 3/4 ton 4x4. Anyways is there anything that I need to know about these trucks !
Thanks in advance

2000 v10 owner
Hi
I've owned a v10 for about 9 months and pull a 12000 lb trailer 3 to 5 days a week . The milege has been better than I expected ( around 9.5 in town driving with the trailer and that includes a lot of idling) I always use premium . the truck has about 120000 on it . I expect to run it to 250,000 than dump it .
I think you got a decent buy but the service you get is worth more than the price
I have noticed a small oil leak around the timing gear cover . Has anyone run into this problem? I have been using sinthetic oil -mobil 1 since I bought it
your thoughts please
by the way I love the truck

C'mon dude...you're not married to the darn thing! When's the last time you made an easy $2000 off a 7 year truck?

Well I was also thinking , How much would it take to replace it with the same truck. I might be further ahead to keep the truck instead of having to go out and replace it, it was just kind of crazy that the guy offered me that. I was just talking to him today, and he is saying he would have to apply for a loan, but was still interested, so at this time I will drive it for a week and see what I think, going camping and going to haul the toy hauler this weekend. We will see

Well okay...that sounds reasonable. 
Now onto your real question.
#1 I would replace your tranny fluid unless you know for a fact that it has been replaced.
In fact, I would replace all of the fluids! To include brake fluid!!
Transfer Case - http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/transfer.html
Front axle - http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/fdiff.html
Rear axle - http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/rdiff.html
4R100 tranny - look in the article section here on FTE for the how-to.
Lube & clean your hubs. http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/allube.html
Lube your needle bearings while you're in there. http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/nblube.html
Put in a new fuel filter & new air filter.
Inspect your ball joints (cause you can't lube 'em ... thanks Ford
) You can lube your steering components, though.
Sure it's time consuming but a great way to bond with your truck and lighten your wallet.
Enjoy.
