No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your E-100 Econoline, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1983 Ford E-100 Econoline maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your E-100 Econoline's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1983 Ford E-100 Econoline problems later.

Bring your 1983 Ford E-100 Econoline to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your E-100 Econoline’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1983 Ford E-100 Econoline? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford E-100 Econoline battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty E-100 Econoline) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford E-100 Econoline won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
