[QUOTE="arobertsmith, post: 2094140, member: 57144"] Hey all! Im a few months into gen1 ownership and loving it (Came from a 2006 F150 5.4L 3V), and im trying to piece together raptor/6.2L specifc maintenance timelines. Not service manual intervals, but real life feedback on things to address to keep the truck going long term. The truck is a 2013 and currently has 98k miles, and doesnt appear to have a lot of major maintenance done. My plan: In the next couple of months / next 10k miles ish - New shocks - Spark plugs, coils, wires - Front + Rear Diff fluid change - Trans fluid and filter change - Transfer case fluid change - New Idler Pulleys (dealer installed new belt and tensioner when I bought it) - New P/S Pump and hoses (Pump is on its way out. Replacing with OEM for now as LEE is out of the budget currently) In the next 18mo or so: - Radiator hoses, water pump (prevenatative) and radiator (Got a great deal at Advanced Auto on these parts) - Brakes when needed (will flush fluid and do PowerStop upgrade at that time) - Alternator (also got a killer deal on OEM from Advanced so going to toss it in preventatively at some point) - Suspension upgrades will slowly happen, so not putting leaf spring bushings on there as deavers will happen eventually, as will a UCA at some point. I will have to do lower ball joint and lower a arm bushings as needed. [B][U][SIZE=5]Questions: [/SIZE][/U] 1. Anything Missing Above?
