1984 Ford F-350 Maintenance

Take care of your Ford F-350 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your F-350 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine F-350 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1984 Ford F-350!

Ford knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your F-350 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1984 Ford F-350 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1984 Ford F-350 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your F-350. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1984 Ford F-350. Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford F-350 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-350 stranded. Your Ford F-350 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1984 Ford F-350 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1984 F-350. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1984 Ford F-350.

That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Ford F-350 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Ford F-350's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Ford F-350 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Ford F-350 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Ford F-350? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it.
