30K Mile Check-up! Help!
Alright guys, my ram is just about to turn 30,000 miles and I am getting things organized to do the whole 30k maintenance routine. Here's what I have so far, Let me know what you think.
-Oil Change (It's at its change point regardless)
-Front & Rear Axle Fluids (Thinking synthetic Royal Purple? Yes, I know it's $$)
-Should I use gaskets for the axle covers, or just RTV?
-Transmission Fluid
-Transfer Case Fluid
-Spark Plugs (Regular Champions is what I hear these run best on, yes?)
-Grease any fittings I can find
These are the major things i've thought of. Anythng i'm missing specific to the Hemi or 2500? Also, is there a cabin fiter in these trucks?
Suggestions? Comments? Helpful Hints? I'll take any advice out there.

Just use RTV for the covers.
and yes the champions are the better bet but NGK or autolites are fine as long as they are basic copper
most all the fittings are sealed. just grease your door hinges
All the fluid specs and recc/'s are in the owners manual as well as the plug numbers to crossreference.

Thanks...
Any tips on changing the plugs?
I tried finding a DIY thread on the whole process but found nothing.
Is there a DIY thread?

No-one answered, Is there a cabin filter?
thanks

My 2500 had re usable diff gaskets all I did was clean them up with some degreaser hit the housing surface with brake clean then degreaser. Done it twice so far front and back not a single leak yet so thats how I do it.
I assume you have the 9.25 in the front and 10.5 in the back?
How many quarts does each axle take? I've heard 4 in the back and 3 in the front.
How much have you used hemiguy? you use any RTV over the gaskets?
