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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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 F-350 Super Duty's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your F-350 Super Duty. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2005 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).

Your Ford F-350 Super Duty could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
