What to do after 50k miles

TampaRam · Aug 21, 2012

I purchased my 08 QC 1500 with 36k miles on it and it currently has 52k miles. I wanted to know what should I look at and what should I replace/flush now that I am passed 50k miles. I have changed the oil evry 5-7k miles with full synthetic.

ok. Only thing Ive recently noticed a couple times is when im in drive going about 5 mph its sounds like it wants to shift gears but cant decide on one. where it could get to a point where it starts bucking but doesnt, just sounds like that a little bit. not sure what that could be.

I went ahead and had the transmission flushed when mine hit around that. I'm at 61k now and am gonna be getting the diffs done before winter.

Did you notice any change when you had the trans flushed?

It didnt seem to be any different to me but my husband said he thought it shifted better.

Be careful flushing the tranny, if it's never been done before and it has that many miles, I wouldn't touch it. You could end up with minor slipping

lol that many miles?!! its barely broken in...my toyota minivan manual called for first trans flush at 100k miles...ive got 76k on the ram and ill be looking at my first trans flush soon....if your trans is so delicate that changing fluid flushes out the clutches then its gonna go soon regardless...just do a complete trans flush u will b fine
