im approaching 80k miles. i fix whats broken (accept the lower idler pulley, anyone seen my breaker bar?), regular oil changes. Discount tire gave me a couple free tires.

but is there any official documentation about what sorta things should be done that arnt normal maintenance? i would imagine its about time for some new trani and or crank fluid.

 

What year, engine, trans, etc??

 

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi 4x4

 

I know my 08 they recommend a trans service @ 60k as well as a coolant flush.

Did you try the downloadable manual located here?

call me a newb, but it is in the manual. i kinda stoppped looking at "maintaining your vehicle"

section 7

well. section 8, matenence scheduels.

and it appears like iv got alot to catch up on. oh, and the rear diff needs some new oil.

is the crank and trani fluid the same or different?

 

Do you mean the transfer case and tranny fluid? Yes, they both use ATF+4 fluid.

 

yes, meant transfer case. i dono why i said crank. musta been tired.
