1998 F 150
Hello All, first time on.
Does anyone know where I can get info for tune up requirements. I have 63,000 miles on the vehicle (I bought it at 32,00 miles) and its never been in for a tune up. Any input would be appreciated.

Hi btrucking 
Do you have the owner's manual for your truck? It gives recommended maintenance intervals in there. You might also find a copy of the manual on www.motorcraft.com or at https://myford.fordvehicles.com/serv...ord%3D15419550
If it was mine I would be replacing the spark plugs and fuel filter and servicing the transmission to start with.

Hi Racerguy,
Thanks for your reply, at least you gave me some direction. I don't have a manual, I bought the truck from a unorganized dealer. I talked to my mechanic (after getting your email) and he looked up the requirements on what he called Mitchells. He told me I need plugs, fuel filter and transfer case oil done along with pvc and air filter. About
$ 400- 500.
Does that sound about right to you ?
You were right on the money with what I needed. Thanks again.

I would guess that's about right but I'm in Canada so the prices might be different and I just work on them, I dont usually see the bill.
Anyone else had all that done lately and remember what it cost?
