I'll admit to putting it off until I begin to hear sharp grinding noises...

I’m waiting for all the posts debating whether or not someone’s favored brand of muffler fluid meets the Ford specs.
Please consult your owners manual regarding this specific requirement to avoid all the raging posts.

Agree, I think this could get out of hand real quick.

Are any special tools needed to change the fluids? Or, can I just use my Metric Adjustable Wrench ?

Left handed Monkey Wrench works best. Check with plumbing tools arm of Snap-On.

Collect enough of this fluid, have it analyzed.
Here’s betting that you’ll find that it’s just a bit of Grid-leak Bias.

Sorry for the clickbait, I thought it was funny. Saw this water trail come from under the truck and thought it was strange as I didn't have the AC on. Then I spent a few minutes investigating if the muffler had a defect and that was all combustion byproduct water coming through a seam or bad weld, or if this was the bed drain holes above leaking on top of the muffler. Then I notice it is coming from a tiny drain hole on the bottom just like it is supposed to, ha ha. In my defense this is my first new car after a lifetime of used cars that always blew combustion water out the tailpipe. Probably still a good idea to check every 25k miles that the hole remains open and drips.

After you feed it the required fluid do not forget the muffler doughnuts it also requires. Happy muffler, happy life.

You think this is funny until it's YOU that's out of muffler or blinker fluid, and THEN you realize how critical it is.

You'll learn, or you won't......

Most newer vehicles specs are muffler fluid and blinker fluid are the same amount BUT different fluid. DO NOT interchange.
Also, with winter coming, be sure to let the summer air out of you tires and replace with winter air. Check with the counter man at your local parts store or dealer parts department.

I have always had good luck using the Helen Keller DRL fluid at 5,000 mile intervals!

Do the new trucks still require frequency grease for the radio? We used it all the time in the Navy. Very hard to get through because supply was always out!!!

But when I was young I started to work for a trucking company. They have a fairly new Mack truck sitting along side the shop. My boss told me to go and change the spark plugs on the truck. I hour later i gave him a set of injectors from my tool box. He almost have a heart attack.
