need maintanance timeline.

[raftdaddy]

my 2010 has had all dealer service to 30,000 kms then i deleted it and put a spartan on but someone stole the owners manual out of my truck and i have no idea what i should be doing as far as maintanance goes,looking at hubs diff oil what ever. i now have 65k on it and am due for my 4th oil change so i was thinking of putting it back to stock and letting the dealer do the 60k service but wondering what is needed and if i should get them to do anything else. i change the oil (t6 5w40) and fuel filters every 8-10 kms. i know its overkill on fuel filters but i sleep better. The truck is babied but the hardest thing on it is the wife!! we live in a small town so lots of short trips and cold A** winters!!. no heavy hauling just 1400 km round trips four or five times a year with my mustang on an open carhauler. i know the wife has no idea on taking it easy on the truck in cold and probably has no idea about deisels she says "it's just a truck and i drive it" so that may be as bad as bag driving it!!

sorry forgot to mention it does go offroad during hunting seasons and lots of boat pulling.

Conversion 10,000 miles = 16,000 km (for easy math)

Oil+filter - 8,000 km
Fuel filter - 16,000 km
Coolant - 2 years but check condition at least yearly
Front diff - 240,000 km (depending on use)
Rear diff - 160,000 km
Transmission - 48,000 km
Transfer - 96,000 km (depending on use)
Power steering - 96,000 km
Brake fluid - 2 years


Some of those are just recommended. Some are actual. That's what I do though. YMMV

thanx for the info. i guess i better get at the tranny. what type of fluids do you use? i still have lots of warranty so i guess i gotta ford but ill talk to them about changing to better stuff.

Transfer case XL12
Transmission Mercon LV or SP (whichever is cheapest)


If you put the rear diff in the water a lot when offroading or launching boats, you may want to change that fluid out more often.

You'll want synthetic 75W140 with friction modifier if you have a 250, but you may want to look at the tag on the rear if there is one. There are a few different rears in these things so I am not 100% certain on what you'll need.
