Bought an 08 f350 a few months back and using it for plowing now. Has 60k miles on it.
Have all the oil ready to go (trans, both diffs, t case and the engine was done). Just waiting for a decent day to get it done. Just wondering what else I should do ?
I will get getting and air filter. PCV valve ? Fuel filter ?

Thanks in advance
Matt

 

Hi Matt,

Take a look at the scheduled maintenance guide. Off the top of my head you're due for your first transmission flush.

Motorcraft Technical Resource

On the left click on "Owner Information". Pick your truck and download your manuals.

 

my 08 f-350 has an external trans filter. I changed it at 59K becuase on my 05 f-250 with 90K the external trans filter element looked like it was dipped in tar.

I did all my fluids, to include the power steering box and coolant.

 

That would be because it was way overdue. Models with the external filter up to 2008 required transmission service every 30,000 miles. Starting with job 2 2008 they had a much better internal filter instead of the external that only requires service every 60,000 miles.

 

Yes my 08 only has internal which I bought already and I'll be tackling tomorrow.

How bad is it to change out the coolant ? You get from ford ?

Thanks
Matt
