[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1049468, member: 74901"] OwnerManuals don't mention a lot of issues; theyre written when vehicles are new for people who don't open Hoods or change their own FlatTires; even if design\quality problems were known at that time, they generally don't openly admit to them. It's your vehicle, so its your judgement call & money. At 150kMiles, I would sure be changing them, along with swapping TStatHousing to Aluminum. If any fluid (Diffs, TCase, Brakes, Steering, Coolant...) is original, now is the time, despite Ford claims of "LifeTimeFluids". If 5r55e Trans never had a service (PanDrop + ValveBodyBoltRetorq + NewFilter + NewPanGasket + New5~7qtMerconV + BandAdjust), now is the time. If Plugs+Wires+OxSensors+PCVValve+ Hoses+HeaterValve+Radiator+Belt+BeltTensioner+Fan+FanClutch are original, now is the time. [/QUOTE]
