WHat needs replacing/maint at 50k/6years?

As the title reads.

Instead of running to the local SVT dealer and asking..

What kind of maintainance does my truck need taken care of at 5.5years old and soon will have 50k miles.

I'm starting to hear a small brake squel sometimes so I know the pads, if not rotors?? need replacing.


Will my springs/shocks need replacing soon?
and if anything what else will I need taken care of? blower oil change??

thanks in advance..

Check the plugs. Springs wont need replacing. Shocks could be getting squishy, but probably too soon for those...dono what else

Just crossed that road myself. Do the front/rear brakes and rotors and make sure they check axle seals on the rear end. The one on my passenger side was leaking. Brakes, rotors and the rear seal = $748 at my dealer.

Make sure you check the flux capacitor and continuum transfunctioner.

This is also a good time to add a plasma booster.

On all my cars I change the rear end fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid at 50k.

Replace the fluid in the Eaton, brakes, check your tie rods as the pass. side is known for problems. I flush and refill my brake fluid every year on all my vehicles (a bit ****, but has never failed me) Tranny, pwr steering fluid and rearend fluid in the mustangs every year, only beacause they are rarely driven. 5k miles in 2-3yrs.
