60K service

[CALDWELL]

What would you fella's consider having serviced once your X reached 60K ?

1. Trans / Diff Flush - Mobil 1 ATF ( already planned )

2. Fuel Filter ( already planned )

3. ?

4. ?

5. ?

etc etc...

This is for your 2005? Since it is five years old, it is wise to have the coolant flushed. Power steering fluid and brake fluid could also benefit from a flush at this point. Check the fan clutch and the serpentine belt as well.

I did whatever the book said. Only thing I did different was had the diff seals replaced, so it got serviced, and the transmission flushed.

Here's what ford says:
-Inspect automatic transmission fluid level (if equipped with underhood dipstick)
-Replace fuel filter
-Perform multi-point inspection
-Inspect and lubricate all non-sealed steering linkage,ball joints,suspension joints,half and drive-shafts and u-joints
-Inspect brake pads/shoes/rotors/drums, brake lines and hoses, and parking brake system
-Inspect complete exhaust system and heat shields
-Inspect engine cooling system and hoses
-Replace engine air filter
-Change engine oil and replace oil filter
-Rotate and inspect tires; check wheel end play and turning noise

EDIT: Coolant is not changed until 100k miles

@ 60k i would probably just do air/gas/pcv ( its cheap) / probably my first trans service, and i think tires by then if they live that long.
