2000 Other Ford Models V12 Four Wheel Drive 90000 miles

SAY I JUST PURCHASED A 2000 FORD F450. SEEMS TO BE IN GREAT CONDITION. LESS THAN 90000 MILES. THE GUY PULLED A 5TH WHEEL WITH IT FOR A FEW YEARS. HE SAID HE HASNT DONE MUCH TO IT. TIRES, OIL EVERY 3000 MILES, BRAKES ECT. HAS NOT CHANGED THE TRANMISSION FLUID YET, SINCE IT DOESNT CALL FOR IT YET? I DROVE IT AND IT DRIVES GREAT. YOU CANT EVEN TELL WHEN IT SHIFTS IT SO SMOOTH. IDLES GREAT. WHAT DO YOU ALL SUGGEST I DO TO IT? TO CHECK IT OUT FURTHER? IT IS SET UP FOR PULLING, SPECIAL BED, IT AUTOMATICALLY LOWERS FOR HOOK UP, SPECIAL TOWING PACKAGE. 12 PLY TIRES (DULLEY). SOLD FOR AROUND $65,000 NEW. IT IS A 6.8 V10 XLT F450, CREW CAB. THANKS MIKE IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS

At 90k it is due for some services. Following the factory maintenance schedule is a good idea.I would do the trans, rear diff, front diff, transfer case and a major tune up, check the drive belt, hoses, cooling system service. If the previous owner stayed up on everything else it should be good to go after those services
