25K on my 05 Hemi, only thing I had to take it in for was the new and improved door seals.

30K is a magical number, DO YOUR 30K maintenance!!

Curious, did you change your differential fluid at 15K?

changed the diff a few k miles ago, used amsoil.
No clue why they call for a change so often. Buddy has a 2002 80k never changed it. No issues. Was reading on another board where ford calls for it at 150 000miles.

It is because of the C-Clip issue. They figure if you open it and catch a broken clip laying at the bottom it will save them (Dodge) money if still under warranty as you will not need a whole new rear.

At least that is my theroy as to why.

04 QCSB 4x2 HEMI with 78k+ on her. So far I've had to replace the passenger side wheel bearing, a set of 4 tires, the drivers side sunvisor and lots of 89 octane fuel.

I had problems with my 07 the day I took it home lol. None of the lights inside worked, including the dashboard. I am still having problems with it too. Look @ this: https://dodgeforum.com/m_1161037/tm.htm for more info.
