I bought a 2000 Mustang GT recently with 50k on it. I forget what the recommended service is and I don't have a service manual. Can you please help me out here..... what brand items would you recommend, I know I should probably atleast change the plugs and fuel filter

easy there buddy...


oil change
coolant flush
air filter (clean or replace)
plugs
brake flush
fuel filter
new PCV
rotate and balance
check all bulbs
new wiper blades

trans flush if you're up for it and maybe a drive belt depending on condition

hell you can go back a page or 2 and find this question
as far as brands just stay away from "value priced" items and you should be ok.

EDIT: i highlighted a few that are often overlooked (or just too difficult to do in the driveway), get these done even if you have to spend a couple bucks at a firestone to do them

I would do what is recommended above. Especially coolant, many peeps over look that stuff. I would highly recommend replacing inner tie rods too. At 50K mine were shot....if you take them off the outers and they can't support their own weight, they are bad. Outer tie rods last a while. I had a stang with 100K, and they were still tight...and yes they were original. I would also take your struts off, and check them. If they rebound fast, they are junk. My Cobra handles excellent because I just put new struts and inner and outer tie rods....wow! Best mod besides the Vortec.
