Just a couple questions about regular maintenance. (I'd check my owners manual, but it was stolen along with my CDs and spare change)

I'm at the 40,000 mark on my 05 GT. At what point should I flush the coolant system?
When should I re-pack my wheel bearings? (or are they sealed?)

It's mostly highway miles, and I don't beat on it much (well, not excessively).
Thanks!

Well sir I think your fine right now but flushing the coolant could'nt
hurt and mabye check your brake pads in case their almost gone.

As for the coolant, every 30K is the standard Ford recommends.
As for the bearings, they are sealed hubs and are non-greasable.

I did a google search for the maintenance schedules and came up empty. I can scan them out of my owner's manual and e-mail them to you if you'd like.

The diff says "do not service" right on it. Although I don't think it's a good idea not to service the diff, Ford says it does not need a fluid change unless water gets in or it's been submerged in water.

Under resource center you can down load a pdf of Maintenance schedule and owners guide. The coolant is good for 5 years or 100,000 miles.
