80k miles with a tune what maintenance is due?

[sdfd504]

Have a 2017 GEN 2 that just turned 80,000 miles. I have kept up on the routine maintenance of oil changes spark plugs however I want to dive deep into some fluid changes.

Rear differential - change to Ford performance or spicer cover with new fluid?

Transfer case - Drain and replace fluid?

Front differential - looks like a PITA to drop the cover? Have dealer do service?

Transmission fluid - Dealer flush?

Shock rebuild - purchase rebuilt shocks and sell off mine?

Anything else that needs to be done? I know the Ford recommended mileage on a lot of the maintenance items is incorrect for the use the raptor sees.

Rear diff would be a good one to change out now. Especially if you've been through any water. I did the ford performance cover when I swapped mine for future ease of changing the oil.

Yup on transfer case.

Front diff I just let the dealer deal with.

Transmission I would drop the pan and refill. PITA method to verify the level.

For shocks, can go that method or buy new from Tasca and then sell your old ones as to be rebuilt.

Coolant would be a good one to consider getting changed.

I just changed all the fluids (coolant too) in my 2018 at 85k. I didn't pull the front diff cover at this point. I used a vacuum sucker to get the fluid out of the front only. It was not visibly bad and with a clean plug, so maybe next time I’ll remove the cover. The front diff only carries a part-time load and never as much as the rear, so… thats my rationale for fluid-only.

Yes forgot to add coolant to the list. Looks like pretty easy to swap to the new orange coolant.

For the transmission fluid - you want to replace the fluid, be careful about using the term ‘flush’ with transmission service and make sure the shop follows the correct transmission fill procedure.

Thanks for the tip.

Don’t forget brake fluid and power steering too!

Do not “flush” or even mention the term. Drop and drain. Not trying to be a jerk btw, you just want to make sure it’s done correctly.

If it's never been done yet. I would do brake fluid as well.

lol- I’m @ 85k miles & I’ve already done the front diff/t-case 2x, the rear diff 3x, the tranny fluid 1x (at around 70k) & coolant 1x (50k miles) I had to do the brakes @ 62k

Rear diff fluid- every 25-30k get a ford performance cover make it easy like every other manufacturer does lol

Front diff/t-case depending on 4wd usage every 35-50k miles

Tranny fluid every 50-100k depending on how hard you are on it, I think 70k is a good # for these trans, drain & replace filter not a flush

Spark plugs I’ve replaced 2x, ever 40k miles, could even go sooner if you want these EB engines seem to foul plugs quicker & also seem to enjoy fresh ones w/ a smoother idle & better response
