i am getting new copper spark plugs, getting throttle body cleaned for $170, should i get anything else done? i have no problems with my truck, but should i replace anything else?
i would do differentials, spark plugs, tb clean, trans service (both filters) if not done at 60K, possibly transfer case fluid, and check over everything else such as power steering fluid, air filter, brakes, u-joints, etc

i bought my truck with 56,000 so i'm not sure what the dealership did, probably nothing. u joints i had checked and they were ok, plenum is fine, i have a cai so the filter is cool, so just fluids then?
so you got a quote from someone to do all your plugs and throttle body for $170? wow!
a new belt from a parts store can cost ya anywhere from $30 - $60. I would never pay someone for simple labor. (I bet you can do this on your own)

i called around a lot, the two lowest were $170, and $225, i probably could do it on my own, but i dont trust myself, so its worth it for me to pay someone else
$170 might be a bit much for eight plugs and a TB clean. Tranny fluid for sure. That's fairly easy to do. The plugs may be easy as well. Belts are usually easy to replace.
Eight plugs shouldn't be more than $16. I don't know how accessible those are. Might not take more than an hour. Is the TB cleanable like that on the Hemi?
