Fuel Filter Change and oil Change
On a 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 diesel. I 'm trying to get advice how often or mileage I should change the fuel filter? Same question for an oil change? I always change the oil filter on anything when I change the oil.. While I am at it , I'll ask how often and how much sea foam I should put in the fuel tank to clean the injectors. I'm going to say thank you in Advance because you guys answered some of my questions before.

You should change the fuel filter on every other oil change, or once a year. I change the fuel filter usually at fall, when weather starts to get cold. That way I minimize the possibility of the fuel gelling up/freezing in filter when temperatures goes below zero celsius.
I was reading the replies MoparFanatic21 and HeIklm and I thank you guys for responding.
As I was scrolling down the page I saw a related thread. It made me think of another question. Should I change the Manual Transmission Oil, The Differential Oil ( front and back ), and Transfer Case? If so how often would you change them?
Thank you again.

According to the service manual, NV4500 has a lifetime fluid, so you really don't need to change it if the trans is working flawlesly. About the diff and t-case, 45000 miles or 36 months and 48000/48, respectively. And this is for on road use, if you drive offroad or do any water crossings, you should always at least check the diff oil afterwards. If there's a bad axle seal, axle housing will suck up the water.
And you can actually go 6000 miles with engine oil change interval.
