I just purchased a 2003 CTD HO, 4x4, 48RE auto, 10. 5" rear end. It has 95k miles. I put about 50k miles a year on the truck, towing 12k # about 10k miles of it.
At 100k I am going to go through and change all of the PM stuff (LOF, fuel filter, air filter, trans fluid, t-case fluid, diff oil, coolant, brake fluid, belts, hoses). That way, I know it has been done and I am back to my PM schedule.
-I get my filters, belts, and hoses from Geno's
Here is the plan:
-Have a trans shop do the transmission fluid/filter and trans tune up. I will provide Red Line synthetic ATF to the shop for this.
-Valvoline Blue conventional 15W-40
-Red Line 75W-90 synthetic for the diffs
-Red Line synthetic ATF for t-case
-ATE Super Gold DOT 4 Brake Fluid
-Mopar coolant / Distilled water with Red Line Water Wetter
My questions are:
-What needs to be greased on this chassis?
-Anything else I should be doing?
-Thoughts on the Red Line ATF in the Auto Trans?
-Capacity on the diffs, t-case, trans, brake system? Owners manual doesn't say!
-Suggestions on brake pads?
-Anybody see any problems with my above plans and fluids?
PM Schedule going forward after this:
-LOF every 7500 miles
-Fuel filter every 15k miles
-Air filter every 30k miles / as needed
-Diffs / t-case every 50k miles (which is about yearly)
-Brake fluid every 50k miles (which is about yearly)
-Coolant flush/fill every 50k miles (which is about yearly)
-Trans every 50k miles (which is about yearly)
-Brakes as needed
Thanks!
