We have had our F-350 for 2 1/2 years, 97,000 miles. We have had a Ford dealer change the oil/filter every 5K, fuel filters every 15K, air filters at 35K tires rotated every 10K. The total (Yes, I do have that in front of me) is at $2,633. It is simply the cost of owning something nice and keeping it nice. I do see why many of you do some of the maintenance on your beasts. We pretty much live on the road so I don't really have proper facilities to do much of it and I don't have the urging required to do the work myself. I might add I don't do the lawn work either. My hands don't fit a lawn mower. If the lawn mower handle were to injure my hand I might not be able to hold a fishing rod or a bike throttle.....
