I currently have 34,000 miles on the truck.. Coming up on 6 years from production date.. So far the only things I've done have been scheduled oil changes, nothing else.. I think I'm probably due for fuel filter.. Anything else?

 

Fuel and air filters. Ford says every 30k, dealer says every 15k. I replace both every 15 - 20k. Don't know if I'm imagining it, but my mpg's seem to definitely go up when replacing the fuel filter.

 

I need to get an oil change soon, I may get them to change it while I'm there.

 

I think my Ford dealer charged $40 each or a deal for $70 for both fuel and air filters. Air filter is easy and you could do it in a second, fuel is a little more tricky. I change my own oil and air filter. I let the dealer take care of everything else.

But yeah, that should be about everything you need since you're only at 34k. I'm at the exact same mileage on my '08. I've changed oil every 3k, new fuel and air filter at 15k and 30k. That's it.

 

Let me ask. I know our manual says 5k. Why do you do 3k?

 

I just always have. I know I can run it longer, I just don't.

 

Fuel filter every 10k if that on my truck

 

10?? I've always heard 30.

 

^^ I do mine at 12K. Matter of fact I need to change the fuel filter again, I should be turning 25K on the truck any day now.

 

Dang, I better get on the ball. I bet I'd see a slight gas mileage improvement.

 

Pg 2 even has pictures from a filter changed after 32K.

Hey MGD, did you ever get to see the pic of my old diff and transfer case fluids? Nasty stuff!!

 

Yeah... My fuel filter is getting changed as soon as I have a spare moment!
That is filthy, and I always use cheap, nasty gas.

 

Yes sir! That was great ! Thanks for that

Perhaps you could link to it for the good OP here.
