Anybody have a copy of the scheduled maintenance list for a '04 Ram 1500 4x4? I'm having a bit of a go-round with the dealer over buying a certified preowned truck and need a little info.

First post and great forum, BTW!

Scheduled maintenance for what mileage and what schedule A or B? This will make a big difference

 

Short side of the story, I just got it as a Dodge certified used vehicle -- truck had a few things that shouldn't have passed either the MD state inspection or Dodge's certified program, so I'm just going down the rest of the list.

from Dodge's site:
Maintenance Standards
70. Perform the next maintenance interval according to the severe maintenance schedule in the Owner's Manual

I assume this is the "B" schedule -- my truck has 32k miles on it and, if I had to guess, its never had a "major service" done (trans/xfer case fluid, axles, or something like that).

Just looking for some other input.
Thanks,
Israel

 

The 30K mile service is a biggie for the B schedule, it includes:
1. Change engine oil and filter.
2. Change rear axle fluid.
3. Change front axle fluid (4x4)
4. Lubricate outer tie rod ends (4x4 2500/3500)
5. Rotate tires
6. Change spark plugs
7. Drain and refill ATF and change sump filter.
8. Inspect everything else, the above are the actual maintenance items.

 

Thanks, just what I needed to know!
