Ford Maintenance Schedule.
My 60000 mile scheduled maintenance is getting close and I was looking in the manual to see what this recommended maintence consists of. After seeing what is to be done I was wondering if I am going to need a second mortgage on my house to pay for all this. (Below) Is everything necessary? It seems like every time they “inspect” something it will need to be replaced. This will be due just before my family vacation out west so I don’t want to break the bank before we go.
1. Replace engine air filter
2. Inspect brake pads/shoes/rotors/drums, brake lines and hoses, and parking brake system
3. Perform multi-point inspection
4. Inspect automatic transmission fluid level (if equipped with underhood dipstick)
5. Change automatic transmission fluid
6. Inspect and lubricate all non-sealed steering linkage, ball joints, suspension joints, half and drive-shafts and u-joints
7. Inspect engine cooling system and hoses
8. Replace fuel filter
9. Rotate and inspect tires; check wheel end play and turning noise
10. Inspect complete exhaust system and heat shields

BTW: This is the best forum I have ever been a part of. I have learned a tremendous amount of things about my truck.
Thank you FTE!
