Well first off let me say thank you for your service. Without guys like you, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the life here we do. Second welcome to the forum. As far as your full service, recommend new Ford sparkplugs, new wires for your 8 coils, I believe your year has wires vs coil boots.air and fuel filter, oil/ filter spray out throttle body, and maf sensor. Be sure to use proper spray on sensor. If you read about spark plugs, torque them proper. up to 2002 the threads are little lacking. Are you doing the work yourself? Heater core is doable, but a little on difficult side, that you may want to farm out. Lack of heat and coolant smell leads towards core replacement Use quality parts, and you should get plenty of additional miles.
