Default need some info 03 ram

just bought an 2003 ram 2500 /auto 2wd v10 96k

what oil - 5w30?
wix oil filter #
tranny never been serviced, what fluid?
what fluid for rear end(limited slip 4.10)?
whats best for spark plugs?
coolant-just reg stuff?

Default RE: need some info 03 ram

well figured most of it out
uses the same oil filter as all the other dodges wix 51085
10w30 motor oil is recommend- except extreme cold winter use 5w30

reg copper spark plugs are recommended i used autolite 5224 with antisieze

auto tranny took 5 quarts synthetic atf4 -dropped pan and changed filter only(had reusable gasket)

rear end took 3 quarts full synthetic 75w90 for limited slip- no additive (had reusable gasket)

no replaceable fuel filter

i have yet to do the pcv- apparently its a dealer only item( i got 1 for 01 v10 and no fit)
i gotta do the iac valve-its gunked up and burnt out, apparently thats dealer only as well

cleaned throttle body out- it was caked with sh-t
