RE: Question about my moms D...
Frenchy:
As a fellow 4.7 owner, here is my 02.
Tune up would consist of plugs preferably Champions. I do not particularly like them myself, buy everything I have read and seen says that these motors like them. Just remember that the heads are aluminum and thus engine should be cold to avoid thread damage when changed. Put a little no seize on them when you put the new ones into aid future removal.
With coil on plug ignition, you don't have a rotor, cap, or conventional wires so no worries there.
Also, if the D is 4x4 it should have had a coolant flush, trans fluid /filter change and both front and rear axle fluids done at 90k. If those have not been done then itis 10k overdue.
Don't forget the air filter. They are only $6-7 bucks at WalMart and easy to change.
This should get you started anyway
