Give me the last 8 of your VIN and I can tell you, or call the dealer and ask them when it's due.

Just had mine 5 year inspection done (36,825 miles) on my 2009 Ram.
Everything was fine except one of the lines going into the hydraulic control unit (ABS) was leaking. They dealer fixed at no charge.

Very painless experience. The worksheet/invoice I got back lists the 5 year inspection as done and the vehicle passed.

That isn't even an item that is covered under the warranty. It was probably leaking at the fitting and they snugged it up with a wrench..lol
regardless, at least they caught it and were looking over the vehicle in depth.

I just brought my 2009 in with ~95,000miles and the dealer told me that in order to pass the power train warranty the front/rear differentials and radiator fluids must be changed for a low price of $999 since my truck is a high mileage vehicle. Any truth to this? From what I remember from the manual you should change it if constant towing or off-roading.

You are correct about the axles, need to change the gear oil only for taxi, off road or frequent towing. The coolant is due at 60 months or 102k miles.

If it was me, I'd take the truck to a radiator shop and pay them to do the coolant service. After that I'd go back to the dealer and speak with the manager and demand the inspection, if they refuse, go to Chrysler.
