Default 30,000 mile service?

I'm due the $600 service but I aint payin that. Tell me if I'm missin anything I,m too lazy to walk out to my truck and look in the manual.

* Plugs
* Air filter (K&N recharge)
* oil (done)
* radiator (can I just drain and fill?)
* Trans (had modual replaced at 12,000 so I'll wait)
* I'll also climb under it with a grease gun and check the brakes while I rotate the tires.
* Rear end? (If its due what brand should I use? Any one try royal purple?)

Anything else?

[align=left]What year model? I have an 06', and I don't think the radiator fluid change/flush is due at the 30,000 mile check. I'm pretty sure that is later down the road.

take it to a mom and pop shop. a radiator flush and fill is not very much. check the back of the phone book. always good coupons there. and you dont have to hassle with figuring out how to dispose of the fluid.

It's an 04 but I don't plan to pay to have the radiator flushed with only 30,000 miles. A drain ad fill will be more than enough there. as to the rest, do these Hemis really take 16 plugs? What else is due?

The coolant is good for 5 years/ 100,000 miles.

oh yea, maybe I should check the manual after all. The service manager here told me I was due to have it flushed.

yes, the hemi does really have 16 plugs. at about 2.60 a pop for oem. but only has eight plug wires. each plug shares a wire with an oposing plug. one end connects to a plug and the other to a coil toping a plug. kind of weird looking but it saves me 8 wires so whatever i guess. on the service issues. the warranty wont be voided if you have the services done elsewhere by a certified mechanic. alot of joints are way cheaper than the dodge house.
