If you don't have a manual, you can download one from Dodge's site. http://www.dodge.com/en/owners/manuals/index.html

Yea, every 30k is a big one. So at 60k there's a lot that should be done.
Plugs, filters, differentials, transfer case (if 4x4), tranny, throttle body and basically everything needs to be checked...

fuel filter every 30k?! really? diff every 12-15?! wtf. something ain't right if your fuel filter is going out every 30k. and unless you do a bad job sealing the diff and go off roading, it shouldn't need to be changed every 12k, maybe checked.

fuel injection service...what does that even mean?

Yea, thats a little often on the fuel filter unless maybe you do the econo gas every fill up. As far as the diffs go, I do my rear diff every 15k, but that's because I have the Auburn Gear LSD that requires conventional lube. I have synthetic in the front and plan on letting that go for 45k miles.
As far as a fuel injector "service" I've always used a high end cleaner in my gas tank every 3000 miles and have never had an issue...
