Default 75K scheduled maintenance

Hi,

My car is up for 75,000 mile service. I searched online but couldn't find the factory recommended 75K scheduled maintenance service. Can any one tell me what are the things I should take care of for 75k or point me to a website. Should I take it to a dealer and see what they suggest?

I spent quite a bit of money for the 60k service. I did all of these (Spark Plug, Cooling System Flush, Fuel Injector Service, Fuel System Clean, Serpentine Belt, Power Steering Hose, Brakes, Tires) not at the same time, but in a span of 2-3 months, going to different shops, whoever has a coupon/special. I hope 75k service won't cost me much.

Thanks.

Trans filter, fuel filter, rear end fluid change, bleed the brakes until the master cylinder is clear, PCV valve, put die electrode grease on all of the electrical plugs under the hood, also very optional but the crank sensor, the camshaft sensor, and fuel rail pressure sensor on the fuel rail, when u get up to 100k u don't want to worry about them frying your motor, also I don't know your year but get the aftermarket coils when u can afford them. Also if u wanted to send your injectors now or around 100K to Accurate Injector Service - Fuel Injector Cleaning - Fuel Injector Balancing
and they will hook your injectors up real nice flow matched and rebuilt, I picked up like 3mpg after sending mine to them. I am sure that there is a little more but I can't think of anything else right now.

Mine is a 2000 v6 mustang, manual stick shift, couple hundred miles to 75k.

"bleed the brakes until the master cylinder is clear" - is there a name for this service?

Default Accurate Injector Service? Botched the job for us, bigtime.

In searching forums, I'm finding out I'm not the only one who has had a nightmare with Accurate Injector Service. Two of six they rebuilt failed on start-up and were stuck open. They were replaced with new ones. In the test drive, a third stuck- and so we replaced them all. THREE removal/replacements of the intake manifold required, two done by the dealer who ran the injectors on the bench (and we watched two or them spray continuously) and $1500.00 cost. Bad, bad choice.

Bill Sikes of Accurate Injector told us by phone (we called him before we replaced anything) that we should just hit them with a screwdriver or something until they worked, which of course didn't work. He then ignored certified notice of the problem, despite copies of the bills, emails etc ... but eventually called to tell me I was stupid and ignorant after I disputed his payment. I've been in business 35 years, known all kinds of people and this guy takes the prize. He has denied any responsibility for the damages and still thinks the problem isn't related to his work, or even doesn't exist.

It's now in the hands of Arizona Consumer Fraud for investigation. If anyone else has had similar trouble with this outfit, let me know, and I will pass that on to the investigators.

+1 on AIS poor business practices... They actually sent me back someone else's injectors and then had the nerve to deny there was any problem on there end. They blamed UPS--yeah, right. They are rude and inconsiderate (his wife is an absolute ***** on the phone).
