Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your F-350 Super Duty's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.
Could your 2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty be ready for a new battery? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your F-350 Super Duty may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Ford F-350 Super Duty battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty F-350 Super Duty) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford F-350 Super Duty won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
