Default Maintanence Schedule?

The $tealer$hip I got my truck from said to have the front, rear diff, and the transfer case oil changed ever 15K, and the tranny oil ever 60K. I called another Dodge Dealer, they said 30K on everything, except if I tow/plow, then to do it ever 15K.

I called a transmission shop (I got to know the onwer well when I had my 2nd gen) he said the front and rears are 100K, and the transmission at 24-30K.

Anyone have the official dodge scheduled maint? I don't have my owners manual with the truck.

(I tried a forum search and didn't find it, sorry if this has already been posted.)

Thanks!

In the maintanence book that came with my truck, it said 15k for the diffs, and 60k for the transmission and transfer case.

My rule of thumb has always been 60k on tranny and Xfer, 30k on the diffs if a high quality synthetic is used. With dino oils, or on a heavy hauler/tower, then cut the intervals in half to 30k and 15k...
