Service question

I am at 26k miles on my 6.0L Ford.

What is entailed in a 30k major service at the dealer?

How much am I looking @ spending?

Every dealer sets his own pricing. Call 'em and ask. No commitment, just being a smart buyer.

Honestly.. Most of that 30k can be done yourself.. It's really not that hard.. I do all my interval service b/c I don't believe in charging myself $80 dollars for a $5 tube of grease that goes somewhere with a total time of bout 15 minutes.. Nor do I think a fuel filter change costs someone $100 bucks either..

If you can handle some easy tools I'd really look into doing it yourself.. Unless of course your not over the 3yr/36k warranty.. Only reason I say this is I bought my 04 with 26k miles and it was expired.. All I had was the 5yr/100k warranty..

Your owners manual gives you a detailed breakdown on what they recommend at what particular mileage. Tranny service is all I would recommend besides your regularly scheduled maintenance.
