Default Re: hello all.

Hot Tibby!

Feel free to post whatever questions you have. There is a great thread in Exterior Mods about how to get old headlights looking new again. As far as a general maintence FAQ goes, I'm not really sure that there is a cohesive one posted.

Bulbs - OEM headlights are 9006, Foglights are 893 and I'm not sure about taillights or turn signal bulbs. I've actually only had to replace 2 foglight bulbs in the 94K miles I've put on the car in the last 5 years.

Fluids - The only thing I've changed so far is the oil, and I just use Motorcraft 5w20. Its starting to get to the point where it needs to the brakes bled, so I'll probably just drain them and replace all the fluid.

Brakes - I replaced my fronts around 70K. I just got Autozone rotors and a set of Motorcraft pads. I think it came out to around $110 and took about 20 minutes to put them on. I'll probably be replacing the rear shoes (and probably drums) within the next year. I've heard that they're a PITA, but they don't wear that quickly.

Obviously, I'm not the best person to ask about maintence, but hopefully it'll give you a starting point.
