Re: F53 Full Fluids Service Price Check
tragusa3 wrote: Fuzzy Knight, can you support why you feel the transmission is important at such low miles but others aren't? Does transmission fluid absorb moisture like brake fluid? Same with Fuel injection cleaning? The dealer said that the induction cleaning will remove water that has built up and sat in the exhaust? I do get a little water from the exhaust, but it stops after I'm up to temperature. I check transmission and power steering this morning. Here are pics. The transmission is the marks on the left, PS on the right. Both were cleaner in person than they look in the pictures. If I was told they were just changed, I'd believe it. What do you think? From a Ford service rep - The new AODs really put the fluid through the ringer. If it is changed every 20 thou or so the tranny will last forever. If not - 30/40 K and the tranny is gone. My Pace Arrow had a new tranny installed at 23K just before I got it. As far as fuel injector cleaning - With todays fuel cleaning is a must because the fuel degrades so fast. You have no idea what the previous owner did to keep it clean sooo an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.936Views0likes0CommentsRe: F53 Full Fluids Service Price Check
Engine oil: $150 (I've already done myself) Transmission flush (100% pressurized) $239 This is important, make sure they change the filter!!! Brake fluid: $99 At 9k miles this does not need to be done. Coolant flush: $139 (think I can do) At 9K miles this does not need to be done Differential gear oil: $190 At 9K miles this does not need to be done. Power Steering fluid: $99 At 9K miles this does not need to be done. Fuel injection and induction cleaning: $139 This is important. One of the best things about having the Ford dealership do it is that at any time you need warranty work done, assuming you purchased an extended warranty, is you have a record of items that were done.936Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford 460 Class A question??
You may have the beginnings of a bad fuel pump. 96 is a long time for an electrical pump to live. This is a fairly complex problem as the pump is in the tank. Next time it does not start or quits leave the key on and crawl under to see if you can hear the pump running.572Views0likes0Comments
