I'm about to roll up to 80k miles and I'm in need of an oil change and brake pads so I am just going to get things all tuned up before the end of the year.
I'm thinking of running the hawks ceramic brake pads, good idea?
What oil/filter do y'all run?
And is there any cautionary maintenance I should due? Thanks

 

Have you changed the plugs and COPs yet?

Here is a good list from techrep:
"Originally Posted by techrep
Fuel filter
Clean throttle body
check your FPDM
replace brake fluid (if you did not when you did the brakes)
change rear / front diff oil
T-case drain and fill
I would not wait on the diff's you never know what the previous onwer was into...

That should keep you busy for awhile.."
Most on here will recommend only using MC oil filters.

 

Here is a thread debating what type of oil in the 5.4L:

Only 80k on your pads? Do you do more city than highway driving? I got 149k out of mine. But I do mostly highway driving.

 

yeah I bought the truck used at 70k and they only had 3mm all around. Old man had it driving around town was all he did.

 

I got 85k out of my first set of pads. I then bought the local part store cheap-o brand and 15k miles later and washing the break dust off every 15 miles or so I swapped back to OEM pads. Also did rotor (front and rear).

As far as oil, as many different answers as people usually. I personall run 6qts of Mag1 5W30 Full Synthentic with 1qt of Lucas full syn stabalizer. As far as filter, MC with the drain back flap. I go 5k miles between changes normally but the oil test just came back good and that I could go quite a bit longer so I am going to go 7500 this time to see what it looks like.

 

Your funny, I'm happy if I get 50K out of a set, really happy!

 

That brake dust is terrible on these trucks. Thats why when I went with new pads I put on ceramic, wagner. Thermo quite I believe

 

Wow, that's terrible. How do you manage that? My buddies 05' Grand Marquis has almost 180k on his original pads. But he is like me, lots of highway.
