When it comes to your Ford F-250 Super Duty, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your F-250 Super Duty could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your F-250 Super Duty, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your F-250 Super Duty running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check.

During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your F-250 Super Duty’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty? 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford F-250 Super Duty battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your F-250 Super Duty stranded. Your Ford F-250 Super Duty won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
