I have a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 Hemi with about 75,000 miles on it. I plan on taking it in for service this week and was wondering what do I need to have done. Last time I was at the dealership they mentioned I needed to flush my coolant fluid, a brake flush, and a power steering flush. Are all these usually all necessary?

Also, I recently had to get the radiator replaced after an accident. Therefore I am guessing I can skip the coolant flush because I am assuming it was done when the new radiator was installed.

Lastly, I am hearing an awful noise coming from the rear. My last rear differential service was at 50K miles. How often should i have the rear differential service completed?

 

Read what is recommended in the owners maintenance schedule. Anything else offered by the dealer is unnecessary and us called "up selling".

 

do the transmission fluid..that is the most important....then driveline ie diff's and tcase then coolant.
brake fluid meh. every 2 years is what they want you to do it, its hydroscopic and will absorb water which lowers the boiling point and may corrode the system. If its never done; you will never notice. It looks nice when its clean in the reservoir. I do it cause it only costs me $7 but i would never pay somone 1 hour shop labour to do it.

p/s fluid... don't even bother

diff service all depends on your usage. when its dark or grey (from moisture), change it ....i would never go over 50 000miles.
