So im approaching the 100k mark and i should prolly do some maintenance, i know at some point im gonna replace the drivers front hub assembly cause its been squeeking for sometime now

but im definitely gonna do an oil change its the longest ive let it go, but its on synthetic and a k&n filter so it shouldn't be bad, changed it at 88k now at 95k, brake fluid was flushed a little while ago at dodge when i was having some brake probs. changed plugs when i got the truck round 65k but ill pull one to check the condition
what else should i do, im thinking about doing the diff fluid cause i know its never been done and i wanna check the condition of the gears, what else should i look at? tranny fluid? (its prolly never been done so that is up there on the list) power steering?

didn't feel like doin a search cause of the broad area that im asking for so suck it! lol

 

Wheel bearing repack .

 

Power steering is pretty groovy as long as it is still bright red. My 120k mile truck still has pearly red steering fluid and it has at least been in there since I got the truck at 45k. Using my cell so I cant see your sig, but replace/clean your air filter. It wouldnt hurt to look at all of the plugs and go ahead and replace them. Cheap peace of mind. Get a grease gun and look for any and all grease nipples around steering/suspension components to fill with grease. Differential is a good idea. Since youre not experiencing any shudders or grinding, just check for excessive shavings in the case. Pop the cover off and wipe it all down including the magnet. Thats all I can think of for now.

 

Unfortunately can't do that on the front cause its the hub assembly and the bearings are non serviceable and r there bearings in the rear? If there r forgive the dumb question drivetrain isn't my fortay lol

 

Air filter just needs a cleaning since its a k&n I clean it at every oil change. For the whole shuttering thing I wish I could tell LOL cause I got the Rancho shocks and my truck has 18s on it plus the roads around me r crap (they would be smoother if they were gravel LOL) the truck shakes so much kinda miss my old stock setup LOL but can't deny how much better handling I got cause of the stiffer suspension. I should really have the truck aligned once I replace the hub cause I tend to drive over curbs cause I get sick of waiting LOL and I'm replacing that hub

 

so im looking at doing the gear oil eventually, im thinking about just going ahead and getting the royal purple stuff, if i get that, do i still have to get the additive, and how much should i get

 

i didnt use the additive for the diff when i used RP. mine takes 2.2 quarts so buy 3.

 

I would like to think tht there are some pretty heavy @$$ bearings in the rear axle outers. Might as well check the seals while you have the calipers off. You can check the carrier bearings visually when you change gear oil.

 

Thunder long time no see thought u gave up or something
When u changed the diff oil did u pull the cover or do the pump it out method?

But a little update checked the tranny fluid yesterday before work and the stuff was like brand new so I'm gonna leave that alone as well as the power steering that fluid looked good as well. What do u guys think about doing a radiator flush?
As of right now here is my priorities for the maintenance needed:
Engine oil
Front hub ( should I replace both while I'm at it?)
Alignment
dff fluid
Radiator flush
And new plugs if they look bad when I pull em they will prolly be up at the top of the list cause they r cheap

 

i was in west virgina for a week and had no internet. but i took off the whole cover, much better that way you can get all the oil out and really clean it good. and i used the red rtv high temp sealant. maybe had a friend help you line up the cover when u put it back on because its a little hard with one person trying to hold it in place and put in the screws with one hand.
