bigjrussel.....My recommendation regarding pulling to the right: Get thee to an auto supply store and buy yourself a good digital tire pressure gauge. If you haven't adjusted pressure since you bought the truck in September, the chances are VERY good that all your tires need inflation attention. At a minimum, tire pressure should be taken and adjusted at least once a month. If air pumps are a problem in your area, you can also purchase small, portable airpumps at the same place you purchase your digital guage. There are those that work off your cigarette lighter, and those that work with 100v household current....whichever works best for you. If you find that there is not a significant pressure differential between left and right front tires, then the chances are very good that you need to have your front-end alignment adjusted.

 

Thanks, Don. Not my first truck, but my first brand new vehicle. All I've had before were junkers and cars on their last legs so maintenance was a moot point. I've never even had a warranty before, so all this regular scheduled maintenance stuff is new to me. I make sure the oil is done, but other than that, I haven't needed any maintenance on my truck yet, besides now the air pressure. Thanks for the tips!

 

Don't forget the transfer case fluid as well (AFT+4) for a 4x4. I did mine not too long ago.

Engine oil (synthetic): 7qts of Mobil 1 @$6/qt = $42 plus tax
Oil filter: Mobil 1 = $11.00
Trans. fluid: 2 gallons cause mine has a deeper pan on (stock I think is 5-6qts) @ $8 qt.= $64
Trans. filters: 2 filter totaling near $55
Rear axle: 3qts royal purple @ $10.50/qt = $31.50
Front axle: 2 qts royal purple @ $10.50/qt = $21.00
Transfer case: I think it was close to 2 qts. of ATF+4 = $16
Spark Plugs: NGK Iridium IX plugs 16 X $10 ea. = $160

Approx. parts total: $400.50
Labor: $0.00

I think that your getting a good deal, even with the regular spark plugs, but everyone on here seems to say go with the NGK plugs, cause they last longer and perform better than the Copper plugs. I'm happy so far, I've got about 4,000 miles on them.
