Common problems and easy repairs on a 1995 F-250

The 1995 Ford F250 XL is a very straightforward truck to maintain. Checking the oil level is easy to do on this vehicle, as the oil dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay. The engine fuse box is easily accessible in the engine bay. This makes any electrical troubleshooting easy to do. Changing the front wiper blades is very easy to do on this car, as you only have to use your bare hands to remove the blade.

Not everything is perfect on the 1995 Ford F-250. You will have to loosen a few bolts in order to access the engine air filter. This will require tools you may not have readily available for this repair. To access one of the parking lights, you will have to remove various components on either side of the car. This is more complicated than you’ll find on other vehicles. Accessing the power steering fluid reservoir can be tough, as the reservoir is located in a tough to access spot in the engine bay. This can make it tough to check the fluid level.
