[Cummins4Life]

Every 3k oil, filter and grease.

Every 5k fuel filter

Every 20k transmission service

I gotta get around to changing diff fluid sometime.

 

[csevers]

p m schedule

p m = preventative maintence



5k oil and filter and grease

16-20k fuel filter

60k trans diff transfer

It has worked for me so far

 

[illflem]

Exactly the same as csevers

 

[DBR]

Same as above, 5 is easier to add than 3750.

 

[Snow man]

Since I work my truck hard, 3K oil+ filter

10-12K trans service

30K diffs,and T case

10K fuel filter

 

[nickleinonen]

on my tahoe... [all in km's]



5-7k - lube, oil, filter

20-25k- fuel filter



diff's, trans, t-case get a bi-yearly fluid replacing [& filter on trans]



battery levels checked 2x per year



[i'll have about 80,000km on my 'hoe when it is 5 years old. 16k / year average]

 

[zimman20]

Every 5k oil and filter

Fuel filter every other oil change

Trans fluid and filter @ 30k

Figure diff service at around 50k

Truck doesn't see any towing or dusty/hard use, mostly empty driving.



Need to grease that thing one of these days... ... DOH!

Synthetic engine oil every 10k plus Bypass/Full flow filter, Fuel filter. Synthetic ATF every 20K, Synthetic gear oil every 20k. Tranfer case every 20k

 

[zimman20]

Seems like 'my own schedule' is leading by a pretty good margin.



What a shock since this board pretty much contains a bunch of 'I'll fix it my damn self' rebels. I personally love that about us.



Far as I'm concerned, just about nothing man's built that I can't take apart, figger out how it works, and fix it!



Think of DC's maintenance schedules as 'suggestions'... ..... :-laf

Chassis Lube - Twice a year, or as needed.

Power Steering - Once a year

Coolant - 24 months

Fuel Filter - 12-15K

Hinges, locking mechanisms, rubber stripping, etc. 2-4 times a year



I also use injector cleaner in every tankful of fuel. I started doing this when I added the EZ and the injectors.



I'm still running with the original serpentine belt and hoses that came from the factory. I carry spares on long trips.

 

[Jff24Gordn]

Oil 4k

fuel 8k

transmission 40k

front end 6 months (I am getting water in it and I'm too lazy to change the drivers side seal. I let it go for a year and had rust on the cast pieces. )

Rear and trany 20k

 

[tarussell]

Oil/filter and grease every 3,500



Fuel filter every 7,000 Fuel lube every tank



transmission,T/C,and Diff's. every 25,000

[TSaxon]

Bought the truck new in October 1998 (21 miles). Forty six months (and 162,000 miles later) all I have done - other than p. m. - is change the fuel pump (at 130,000). No real towing or hard work, just lots of driving. I did haul 3,200 pounds of concrete over 400 miles once - now THAT was fun.



This is what's gotten me here.....



Oil - 7,000 miles

Fuel - 14,000 miles

Coolant & transmission - 50,000

Tires - 89,000 & 73,000 (need changed now)

Valve Adjustment - 100,000



Getting ready to do some work (new shocks, track bar, steering shaft, brakes and tires).



Still, this truck is the envy of all men in town.

 

[Murle]

Have a hour meter on the truck. Change oil and filter every 100 hrs. Figures out to about every 4000 miles. Plus or minus 200 miles
