[QUOTE="Chris@FreedomMotorsports, post: 407469, member: 8341"] I am not working from the owners manual, but things I would personally consider are as follows: Brake fluid Flush (I highly recommend that the brake fluid be fully flushed annually regardless of mileage, especially for those in colder climates) Brakes if needed, if there is scoring, cracking, or anything of the sort on the rotors then it may be a good idea to go ahead and change them before they get worse. Power steering flush (with transmission fluid) Spark plugs. Coolant (Go to Autozone or other auto parts store and use test strips to test it to find out if it needs flushed, if not then leave it alone.) Transmission fluid (This is more personal choice than requirement. Modern transmission fluids are very good, even from the factory. You can test it with used oil analysis to be sure, or you can eyeball it. IT should be red and not have a smell, if it is brown or dark and smells burnt at all then definitely flush it. If you do flush it, make sure that you have someone that is qualified for doing a hotflush properly according to Ford service recommendations) Transfer Case (Since it is transmission fluid, I would judge whether to change it according to what the tranny fluid in the transmission looks like.) Differentials (If they have never been changed then I would definitely do that) Clean your throttle body and MAF Sensor Change your Fuel Filter, possibly run some injector cleaner through it unless someone here knows of a reason as to why you wouldn't do so. Check your Air filter and replace as necessary. I believe that just about covers it, but if I have anything wrong or if I have missed anything please forgive me, I don't have a copy of the owners manual to go off of. But you can also consider this a free bump for the morning crowd. [/QUOTE]
