+1 to Discount tire

If you have Sam's Club membership they also offer free rotation. Probably not the solutions you were looking for.

 

+1 discount tire.

Once I need my first set of tires, or a replacement, I go there and get the certs.

 

I realize I have 6.2 and costs are slightly different for oil change, etc ........ But

I usually do all oil changes and any other work myself and did first 2-3 oil changes myself. Hate letting a dealer touch my truck.

But, when I found out they would change oil/filter and rotate tires for $54 I got hooked. I just go t Quick Lane at the dealer and I don't think I've ever waited over an hour (usually wait about 30-45 min). They torque wheels on, etc. So far I haven't found anything that they've screwed up (which is rare).

Also .... Questioned dealer on rotation. Their recommendation on these trucks is simply front to rear and rear to front. I have 56,000 + on factory Goodyear Wranglers and still have 6/32s tread and even wear. I should make about 65,000 no problem.

Just FYI.

 

Thanks for all the input! I think I'll do my own oil but let Pep Boys or Discount Tire handle the rotations.

 

Agree with others, changed my oil yesterday, going to Costco today for a tire rotation, $28.

 

If you want a record at dealership for oil changes bring your own Valvoline PBE synthetic oil or Rotella T6 purchased from Amazon with you to dealership and have them change it. Or local tire store only charges $12 labor to do oil/filter changes if you provide the oil and filter.

But I’m 72 years old with a bad back and I still change my own oil and filters. I have a Fomoto drain valve which makes it easy and relatively no mess. Changing oil on a Superduty is not physically difficult. I do it on the grass. I lay a large piece of cardboard down to slide under the truck. No jacking required. If there are any oil drips it doesn’t stain the driveway.

For tire rotations I use local tire dealer. These tires are heavy for me at my age and bad back. I can make an appointment and they are always on time. Plus they have a bright clean waiting room with large screen TV, soda, coffee and snacks. I even bring my dog with me. For $12 labor fee and $5 tip to the tech it’s well worth it for me. They rotate the tires, inspect the brakes, air the tires up properly and reset the TPMS sensors system all for $12. I just had it done last week. I watched as he verified the 60/80 PSI tire pressure and torqued the lug nuts to 165 lbs per my request.

 

Just in case you didn't know, anyone can record their "owner performed" maintenance work on Ford's website at https://owner.ford.com/ and have it available to all Ford dealers.

 

Jack front axle up, put jackstands under it.
Move jack to rear and raise from differential.
Rotate tires.
Reverse procedure to lower truck.
Done.

 

Agreed.....I do trust the local dealer to manage to change the oil and rotate the tires (that's about it), and it's done very easily....and cheaper than if I paid myself $15 per hour to do it.

 

I jack up and support both rear wheels with jack stands. Then do each front wheel separate with a jack. No front support, as it's quick and I'm not under it. Check/inspect the disc brakes at the same time.I have a 3-Ton floor jack. I use a impact wrench, and a T-handle for final tightening once it is 100% on the ground.

When I put the tires back on, a shovel really helps to lift the tire into place. Those things are too heavy otherwise.

Easy peasy. Faster than bringing it to a shop.

 

I made a video that might help.

 

One thing I do to minimize vibration is to start the first lug at the bottom while you hold the tire in with your foot. Then snug up all lugs by HAND while pushing and pulling on the tire to have it seated as strait as possible. Then torque in proper cross pattern to spec. I've had tire shops get impact happy and the wheel isn't properly on the spindle.

 

Why did you lock your hubs?

Also, why anyone would use the factory jack vs. a floor jack is beyond me...

 

And don't forget to use a wire brush on the mounting surface and hub to clean off the rust & dirt. Apply anti-seize to the mating surfaces between the hub and wheel.
