1994 Ford F-150 automatic. mileage: 65,000 I just bought this truck used as a work truck for a company. The body is great and I understand that it was probably put through the ringer. It was routinely maintained (oil changes) but I can see that wires, plugs, sensors and other minor things were not. Being a novice do it yourselfer, where is the best place to start with fixing it up and replacing stuff. Any comments and questions would be greatly appreciated.

A major tune-up would be a good start. Replace the spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, cap/rotor and air filter. The fuel injection should be serviced to clean the throttle bore and idle passages. You may need to replace the radiator hoses and belts. An oxygen sensor would also be in order. Next, replace the fuel pump.
