Just got a nice used 2002 XLT with 4 banger. It's a single cab 2wd and a 5 speed also if that matters. It has 125,000 miles on it. What things should I go over and check or replace? I plan on doing an oil change, new plugs, new air filter but other than that not sure. Any belts I should replace? Water pump? Transmission or rear end need fluids changed? This is my first ranger.

What I would do:

Plugs
Wires
Oil change w/ filter
Air filter
Fuel filter
Trans fluid
PCV valve

...possibly serp belt if it looks worn.
Come colder weather I would do a radiator flush too.

Find out who owned the truck before and ask them what's been done, then ask the question. That info should be available at the dealer where you bought it. If you bought it from a private seller they should tell you.
No need to change things that have already been done.
