Okee, Ill be rolling 30k miles in the next few weeks. Aside from changing my plugs and oil which I just did, what would you guys recommend maintenance wise I take care of on my '99? She's still all stock.

I changed my fuel filter a couple of weeks ago (showing 52k but 4.10's and uncorrected speedo its prolly more like 45k) anyway, man was that a bitch! But when I finnaly got it out the fuel coming out was almost black.

I always like to change the hoses for peace of mind too when I change the coolant.green99_svt said:
sheesh. I rolled 80K last week.
Tear it down...put in forged goodies...put on a blower or a 250 shot of nitrous...
Tell your S/O that Mustangs require that kind of work at 30K mileage. It's in the owner's manual

changing hoses may be a little too far but i would deffinetly inspect them. make sure when inspecting that you squeeze them and feel for any weak spots.

On the coolant change, Anyone use the jiffy lube type places to get a flush done?

go to ford buy 2 gallons of gold premium coolant. drain radiator and the block and refill the gold is the best jiffy lubes use crappy coolant with low corrosion inhibitors.
Got it, whats the best way to flush the block?
NO..!! DO NOT LET JIFFY LUBE FLUSH IT...what a hoax...do it right, and protect your investment...just do what green99 said...drain it and fill it with premium coolant...as long as you do it every 30k...you'll be fine...I would also do the fuel filter
MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE COOLANT REPLACEMENT PROCESS EXACTLY!!!
If you don't, you'll end up w/ air pockets in the coolant system which will cause serious over-heating problems! The short of it is, you'll need to make sure you "burp"all of the air out of the system.

The bottles don't say how to empty the block out. Do I need to buy a flush kit? I know I've seen then at Wal-Mart before.
There is a block drain plug under the car on the driver's side toward the back of the engine.
