Just follow your 1988 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1988 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to 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-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
