90000 mile service
Just took my truck in at 90000 miles. When I picked it up the service advisor told me the brake pads looked like new!?!?!? They are original. Im not complaining....just seemed like they should be worn some by now.

Do you anticipate stops to minimize braking or do you tend to do a lot of braking?

This thread makes me feel better, just rolled 70k last week. While waiting for the oil to finish draining...pulled both front wheels to have a look a the pads. Still allot of meat on there; as far as I can tell their originals. There wasn't anything in the Oasis to suggest they were replaced before 27k (when I purchased the truck). I was begging to think I needed to plan for a brake service soon; who goes 70k+ miles on OEM pads? But if you've got 90k on the OEM maybe I can go that far was well.
I do anticipate stops, and give just enough pressure to the pedal to slow the rig down. No need to wait to the last second to hammer down on the brakes...or at least in my mind that's how I drive the truck.

I'd like to hear on this myself. My 07 has hit 90k without ever going back to the dealer. I've done all the oil/filters/tranny myself. Changed the coolant at 48k, but from what I am reading it looks like I need a coolant filter. Like the other poster, my brake pads still look great. Most of my miles are towing a trailer.

There was a thread a few months ago (maybe a little more) with a very similar title. I seem to recall some good discussion on it. You might want to try a search.

I just did the 90k service myself, friend of mine let me use his lift. If you dont mind me asking, how much did the dealer charge you?

Well, I did a search and couldn't find it - probably on another Forum.
For a start:
1. Oil and filter change assuming it is due
2. Fuel filter change - assuming they are due
3. Tranny flush or fluid change
4. External tranny filter change
5. Might as well do a coolant VC-9 clean and flush (or wait til 100k, but do it at least every 50k)
6. Lube: two front end U-joints (maybe others depending on model year and options)
7. Pull batteries, recharge them, load test them, recharge
8. Test alternator
9. Inspect brakes
10. Transfer case fluid change
11. Some say change fluid in differentials, some say not (I would change the fluid)
12. Look over the wiring for chaffing (at the common chaffe points)
13. Look over vehicle for leaks - especially oil leaks (at the common leak points)
14. Test the FICM voltage
15. Get the latest flash update if you do not have it
16. Check for wheel bearing and ball joint wear
17. Flush the brake fluid
18. Flush the power steering fluid
19. Think about new shocks if you still have the originals installed
20. If you still have it, pull the EGR valve and clean it

I was surprised the first time I service my truck....to find grease zerks on the steering linkage and around the knuckles. Everything Ford I have doesn't have 'em....well until I've had to replace them after failure with a/m parts.

Have you evaluated your ball joints? I had to redo mine last fall before I deployed. My 250 had about 94K and the ball joints were really wallowed out. New ones really improved its road manners. Took two days of driveway engineering but was relatively easy. There's a lot of guidance out there to assist you in ball joint swaps. Few unrelated troubles since I've been back...
