Hello all, I have a 96' F150 with 5.0 V8, automatic tranny, and 91K miles. I'm ready to do some much needed maintenance. My plan is oil change, air filter, coolant flush, change tranny fluid, spark plugs and wires, and rear axle fluid.. Now my first question is, what am I missing? Secondly, are any of these items something I should have a pro do? And lastly, any tips from those who have done these. Thanks in advance....

 

Tranny filter
PCV
Fuel Filter

 

I planned on doing the tranny filter when I did the tranny fluid. The fuel filter isn't that old but I may replace it anyway. The PCV is pretty easy to replace isn't it?

 

The PCV isnt that bad at all. on mine (92 xlt) its on the passenger side valve cover close to the firewall/upper intake.

 

definately replace the fuel filter.i changed mine & it made a huge difference in acceleration & pedal response.sounds like you got everything else covered

 

cap + rotor too

get a pioneer brand trans filter with rubber gasket, retorque the pan bolts a couple times after heating the truck up...clean the trans pan mag while you're at it

if you have a timing light, check the timing

I wouldn't worry about the coolant flush unless the mix wont provide enough protection

check the serpentine belt for excessive wear...great time to change it
