I need some info concerning my 94 Southwind. I just bought it used this year. In looking through all of the original paperwork that came with it, I realized there is virtually no info on the Ford motor, transmission, or chassis. It is a 35 footer with a 460 EFI engine, automatic tranny model ???. What kind of transmission fluid should I use? How much fluid does it hold? How often should it be serviced? How often should I change the oil, fuel filter, etc.? How much oil does it hold, and what weight to use? What about the chassis? Grease how often, and at what points? You get the idea. I'm trying to set up a full maintenence program to alert me to all this when it is time, so I can keep it in as good a shape as it is in now, which is still real nice. Does this thing have power steering? What about brake fluid type? Any help will be greatly appriciated.

Steve,
If you want ALL the info on your Ford F53 go to www.helminc.com and buy a shop manual. I believe you can also buy an owners manual, if that is all you need.
Sorry I can't help more, my Chevy info wouldn't help at all
