so my 01 GT is about to hit 60,000 miles. today we changed the oil and filter and also put a k&n drop in filter in the car. i was just wondering if you guys suggest anything else for me to do. my dad says i should change the coolent, rearend and manual transmision fluid.

Dad sounds right on the money,I purchased my 99gt with 20300 mi and I swapped out the coolant,rear diff,tranny and moto oil so I know where I am on the car.manual says use synthetic gear lube and friction additive in the rear.That ford additive really smells bad.Maybe run some techron or seafoam in the gas for a tankful or so.Hmm check your disc brake sliders to make sure they are well lubed also.I have seen many go dry and cause probs..................................Gary99gt5sp

From my maintainance booklet, what the dealer would do if you took it in there would be:
replace:
cabin, fuel filters, and pcv valve

check
belts, lights, wipers, horn coolant system, heat shields and exhaust, brakes, adjust E-brake

Supplemental:

[BG in front of:] induction, differnetial, Powersteering flush, brakes, MOA [*scratches head*], transmission, repack wheel bearings [if applicable]

Hope that was helpful, if not, sorry.

I don't think we have a cabin filter, and we have a self adjusting e-brake ratcheting lever thingamabob, so we don't need to adjust the tension on that.

I already helped you finish two thing off that list, you owe me a beer. [8D]

lol redass, ive been drinking rum and sprite all night (no coke [:@]) so you can come over and have some of that


i know about the manual and plan on doing all that it says i was just wondering if there was anything i should check or do since ive only put about 5k of the 60k on the car.

I was just reading out of my general ford maintainance book.
