Check for rust developing on the rear quarter. Unfortunately there's something about the fuel filler that causes rot. I don't know what, but it strikes a lot of gen 2's, mine included. What engine does it have? Let's see some pics! 2007 is my favorite D year. I blacked out my tails to match the rest of the thing, a personal choice I'm really happy with. Aside from the quarter rust, I don't know of chronic issues with the gen 2. Really the worst thing about it is how many people hate this generation. And there aren't a lot of body mods available because there's not enough market support for it.

Black, my favorite color too, nice choice! The 4.7 and 5.7 are both great engines, so if it's been maintained well it should last forever, at least that's what I'm expecting from mine. I use conventional oils and a fram tough gard oil filter, not the regular cheapie fram orange one. I'm about to turn 97k so I will be doing some maintenance this spring, probably most of the same stuff you do.
