Tune-up time
My rig is approaching 100K miles and I figure that it's time to do some engine maintenance. It's a 5.4L With the exception of lubricants, my list of things to replace goes like this.
Plugs, fuel filter, PCV, O2 sensors, serpentine belt, and coolant.
Am I forgetting anything? How do y'all feel about O2 sensor replacement as PM?
Also, I rarely hear anybody talk about belt replacement anymore. Is 100K a good time to swap it out?
Thx,
gw

I usually just keep an eye on the belt and replace it as needed, but on the flip side I have never had one last 100k.
Remember, Motorcraft parts work best. Triple chrome moly gold plated 5 electrode plugs may be more expensive, but they don't work as well.
