Well i just got home from the ford dealership ,and i stop by to get a quote on a full maintenance on a 31k mile truck ,they told me its was going to be $459 plus tax .. i said wtf so i have been reading up on some maintenance stuff on the web . Allot of dealerships say they do check for the stuff that there sopose to check for ,but they really dont. and thats when the customer gets FU*KED !!! LOL anybody out there thats in my shoes? lol should i do it or not ?
Just so that I am clear, you are saying that dealerships charge close to $500 to have the below 30K mile maintenance done to our trucks???
30,000 mile checkup
-Change oil, replace filter
-inspect tires
-inspect brakes, pads, shoes, rotors, drums, lines, hoses and parking brake system
-inspect wheel ends for endplay and noise
-inspect engine cooling system and hoses
- inspect exhaust system and heat shield
- inspect steering linkage, ball joints, (if equipped halfshafts, driveshaft and u-joints)
- replace engine air filter
- replace fuel filter
- replace cabin filter
- Change automatic transmission fluid on vehicles equipped with torqshift and 4R100 transmissions. Replace remote filter element on the vehicles equipped with the torqshifttransmission. Inspect automatic transmission/transaxle fluid level on all other vehicles. , if equipped with the dipstick. Consult your dealer for your particular requirements.
- replace climate controlled seat filters (navigator, aviator, expedition)
- lube 4x2 ball joints and steering linkage if equipped with zerk fittings
- inspect and lube 4x4 front axle shaft u-joints (F250/350/450/550 and excursion)
- multipoint inspection recommended.
Hope this helps.

Ok so you're just going to ignore me Professor?? I've asked you in this thread about your audio setup and I've also sent you a PM about your audio setup and you've just ignored me. I know you've read both of them.
