Default Basic tune-up

If there is such a thing!


2005 ram quad cab 4x4 1500.
110000 miles.

Want to do kind of a basic tun-up. 30,000 miles ago i did plugs , egr? And some other valve I think and TB Cleaning.
So now I've done the plugs again and cleaned the TB.
Is there anything else you would suggest?

Oh, it's a hemi!

Look in your owners manual. It will have what is required at each mileage interval.

Clean/replace the PCV valve. If it's been over 4K, then an oil change with full Sea Foam treatment. Replace tranny and diff fluids (not really tune-up tasks, but probably due). Replace the belt, perhaps.

Directions are on the can, but one ounce per gallon of gas, roughly five ounces in the crank case, and let it slurp up 'bout half a can through the brake booster vacuum line.
