just wondering
Ok, my truck has about 41K miles on it and soon will be close to 50K
I need to find out when every was last changed, tranny fluid, brake fluid, brakes,--EVERY--EVERYTHING!! When I bought this truck at 33K or however much(somewhere around there)..I got it from ford dealership and they had the 108 point inspection on it, does this mean they put like brand new everything inside of her so its like new or what???
Should I clal the dealership?

the inspection means they visually checked the cars 108 hot spots for damage or failure, it dont mean that they fixed it....they inspected it.....in 108 spots....but if its not giving you trouble i wouldnt worry about it man just take her in for her check ups regularly and stuf'll be ok

If I were you (assuming the fluids hadn't been changed yet) I would change out every fluid no later than 50,000 miles. It may not be bad in the first place, but take every precausion so you won't regret it later. I am going to change every fluid in mine at 30,000 miles...maybe even a little sooner because I drive pretty harsh.
Fact of the matter is that regardless of whether they've been changed or not, you always need to be on the safe side. Safe some money, and just go do it all at once.

James and Joe
Thanks for the advice guys, Joe that seems to be the way I'm going to have to go, then I can actually know when I need to change fluids etc. for the next time for sure.

it is on the sticker in the door jamb and on the driver's side dash where you have to look through a little clear section of the windshield (from the outside looking in) down near the bottom of the windshield.
