Default ? about replacing fluids & other parts
How often do y'all change the fluids on your truck?

Diff's
trans
coolant
transfer case
power steering

Also are there any parts people replace at certain millage points?

Your owners manual is a great resource for answering these questions. Please use it.

If your owners manual asked you to jump off a 100' bridge would you do it?

No it would not contain information on how to run my life, only how to maintain my vehicle.

I followed the manual. With my 04. And the new one. Can't go wrong. Changing fluid too often is a waste of money. I will recommend running full synthetic in your engine As well. Brand, your choice.
