My 2019 used Raptor has 55,000 miles on it. Unknown maintenance history. New to me 4,000 miles ago. I took it to the dealer for some warrenty work (cam Phaser sensor replacement) and they want to do the following:
Coolant flush
Rear Diff
Front Diff
Brake fluid
Transfer Case fluid
AC Evaporator

1. Do you think all of these fluids need changing at 55k?
2. The maintenance interval manual is found on this site didn't show any fluid changes/flushes except Engine Oil. Are they necessary at this milage?

Thanks for any thoughts or recommendations.

1) Yes. Transmission would be a good idea too.
2) Needed for warranty compliance? No. A good idea if you’re going to keep the truck a while? Yes.

If you’re doing the rear diff, might as well get the spicer or Ford Perf. diff cover while they’re doing it.

Just like a new girlfriend you don’t know where it’s been or driven be safe. All fluids and filters . The AC evaporator?? . If you can do it yourself do it! I don’t trust ford service departments anymore.

I would like to know more about the AC work being done? What is this service exactly? Everything else my opinion is a go, especially the trans unless you can do the diff's yourself, they are easy.
