Just the usual that you probably have already learned about. Lift pump.

Welcome to the third gen world. I started with a '93 and loved it, but this '04 is the best vehicle I have ever had. You'll be very happy with a third gen.

When you say '04 I'm assuming you don't mean '04.5. Check the drivers side of the valve cover for the engine specs. 235, 305 or 325. 325 is an '04.5 with a cat. 235 might have a 47RE instead of the 48RE.
