30K Maintenance?
So what did you guys have done at 30k miles? My dealer has a whole list of items they recommend at 30k, some of which I don't see the point in.
Oil change - Just did it
Tire rotation - Just got new tires
Coolant flush - Did it at 20k
Transmission flush - Thought this was done at like 80k?
Throttle body cleaning - Ok?
Injector cleaning - Just got new injectors with the X
Cabin air filter - Need!
Fuel filter - Really need!
Oil change - Just did it
Tire rotation - Just got new tires
Coolant flush - Did it at 20k
Transmission flush - Thought this was done at like 80k?
Throttle body cleaning - Ok?
Injector cleaning - Just got new injectors with the X

Oil change - Just did it Done, and I hope you did it yourself
Tire rotation - Just got new tires Done
Coolant flush - Did it at 20k Done but way too early. 60K or later is more like it
Transmission flush - Thought this was done at like 80k? 60k - 80k, IF you're going to be ****
Throttle body cleaning - Ok? Yes, but this is another DIY using the approriate can of cleaner from any auto parts store and a clean rag
Injector cleaning - Just got new injectors with the X Add Techron to a tank of gas at each oil change or 10k miles, whichever comes first and you won't NEED any other injector service
Cabin air filter - Need! Another crock of crap that is a DIY. Lord forbid that we breathe outside air unfiltered. Good heavens...
Fuel filter - Really need! Yes, but another DIY

Off the top of my head, I believe our computer systems at work show:
-Every 6k (now 7.5k) miles: tire rotation
-15k: rear diff.(used to show 30k, but that is if you never had stop and go traffic)
-36k: fuel system cleaning (not Ford in this case, but VIOC's)
-60k: transmission flush
-100k: coolant flush
-Every ~3 years: A/C service
But like I said, those are all off the top of my head. Those tend to be typical Ford numbers though.
