Check list for 80000 service - 2000 Ford Ranger SuperCab

For most people most of the time no service is necessary - if there are no safety or reliability problems either existing or pending, something routine servicing is designed to check for.

Most modern cars are so well made they will survive quite well if a routine service is missed though it will affect the life expectancy somewhat, depending mostly on the type of usage. Short runs and lots of cold starts or lots of sustained high speed driving is more punishing to a car...

78 is the best.

Here ya go

Time for factory service, that happens on those between 80000, and 100000 miles. Ford lets you know. They reset it once service is complete.

Seeing as how no one ever changes trans fluid and all vehicles tend to have some trans issues,I would say your best bet is to check with a trans shop and if your comfortable there, have it towed. Unless it is something simple,expect about a $2000.00 repair bill.

It could mean anything. Stop in at Auto Zone or Advance Auto parts store while you are out and ask them to use their code scanner to read the fault codes from your vehicle. This is usually a free service with them. That will identify the problem you need to fix.

just fluid change and a filter should suffice.although I'm sure they will inspect it while the pan is off

could be but have car scanned some auto stores such as auto zone / advanced auto do it for free the code will give u a start point---may be a mileage service request or may have a problem they car also reset the code for u

better check the outer cv joint,

At 80000 miles there is a very good chance that you are ready for new front pads. That is precisely what I tell my customers when I exchange brake pads. "Come and see me in about 80000 miles" The sensors will pick up on a fimly depressed brake pedal and then store it in the computer. This indicator is fed by two sources brake wear and milage. It's best to get them now before you end up needing rotors too! Thanks, Dana
