Read on a website that it suggests to change front and rear differential fluid every 15k miles. Is this true or how often do you change yours?

My PW manual suggests front/rear at 20k. I've towed with it from early on, so I changed both at 20k.

I used Amsoil 75-w90 full synthetic. I purchased and used new Mopar differential cover gaskets, although the ones on there were reusable and really could have been reused.

Changed mine at 20k. I tow 4 days per week for work and they were pretty black. I used a vac pump to change mine. Couldn't see needing to pull the covers with only 20k on the clock. The next change I'll pull them and replace the gaskets.

Mine has just turned 40k and for some odd reason i dont think the dealership did it at 26k when i bought the truck last year. Wish i would've looked into this more.

It's worth it on the PW for cleaning the magnets on the lockers. Otherwise, that method would be easier. The gaskets were perfectly fine to reuse. I had bought new ones just because Murphy's law, so I used them.

Yeah, no lockers on my 2500. I did clean the magnets during the change, and then again at 500 miles just to check. I will open them up at 40k.
