What do you guys do for your 50k mile tune up? Just changed the oil and filter and new tires. All fluids look good. Truck runs great..so far...



2010 ST V6 Limited 4x4

When mine hit 50k I did have the transmission flushed. The manual says 100k but I'm not waiting that long. I did the coolant and transfer case lube also at 50k and just put new spark plugs in last week (54k). The manual says 100k on the plugs but again, I'm not waiting that long. Air and fuel filters if you haven't done them yet, the manual says every 30k.



If you want to be picky, change the axle lube also. The rear is pretty easy to do yourself on a Gen 2 because it has a drain plug, the front you will have to take to a shop with a suction machine. I go to the Valvoline Quicky Lube, costs about $40.



50k on a 2010 ??? !!!
 
Yup, 2010 with now 51k. Had to buy it in Jan 2010 due to someone totaling my '07. I commute around 100 miles a day M-F. Hope she lasts until she's paid for.
 
I did the transfer, trans (flush, not drain) and diff. fluids. I asked the service writer about the spark plugs, and he recommended waiting until 100k mi. because he saw few failures . I did wait and when I changed them, there was little or no difference in performance or mileage (same experience at 200k).
