Two Questions
1st: On the fuel filter change is there a notification that will come on when it's needed or are you supposed to just automatically do it when the book says to?
2nd: For last couple weeks my steering wheel has a clicking/creaking noise. Any idea what this might be? Not sure if there is something that could use a little WD40 or what.
Truck has a little over 14k miles.

No notification. Change your fuel filters every other oil change.
Steering wheel noise could be any number of things. Physical examination is required to determine the actual cause. May require parts.

Platnium with everything. When I turn right it's just a noise. It doesn't do it every time just annoying more than anything.

My owners manual recommends changing both fuel filters at 30,000 mi. I check for water every oil change.

Yea, every other oil change is a waste of money. Just check for water once a month if you want to be extra careful.

So went to dealer for fuel filter change and to take care of recalls. The noise I'm having in the steering wheel is from a bad bearing in the steering column. Waiting on the part to come in to get it fixed. Got pretty pissed off at them over the block heater recall. I wasn't aware that the new replacement part hasn't been released by Ford yet...or they are covering their ***. They told me they went ahead and just "removed the block heater, since we are in Texas". I threw a fit, and they knocked $50 off the fuel filter and threw in free tire rotation and oil change.

I read about that in the latest block heater debacle. Ford has asked dealers to remove the block heater cord until they have a fix. Oh the crazy things we do in the name of liability! I guess if you want to keep yours then don’t go to the dealer.
