Recommended Maintenance Schedule

[TKarnas]

Just bought my first Diesel. Can anyone recommend a maintenance schedule I should follow. IE; oil changes, fuel filter change, transmission. I have seen that Fleetguard is brand of choice. Thanks

Go with what's in the manual. Why would you need anyone but the mfr's recommendation, unless you've modded it?

Yea, go with what the manual suggests. Or if you don't have a manual you can go here to download a free copy from Dodge.

My schedule is as follows,
Oil and filter every 6k, all Fleetguard and Delo
Fuel filter also every 6k again Fleetguard
Every year or 24k the transmission and rear end gets a dose of RP
The BHAF gets changed every year or 24k
Anything with a grease zerk gets hit at every oil changed with Lubriplate 1500 series.

Everyone differs in their shedule, mine may be excessive to a point but it works for me and is a good investment to help everything last a long time, IMO. The way the prices are going for 3rd gens I need mine to last a very very long time.
