the maintenance schedule will tell you what should be done at a minimum.

Ok I'm about due for oil change and I think I'm going to switch to royal purple ( I already run full synthetic) and a royal purple oil filter does anyone have that royal purple number?

I never got a Catch can so I was going to buy one of them what brand should I buy is the install terrible and should I do any cleaning out from not having one or is that not possible .

The PCV I am unfamiliar with this how is that replacement and what is the part number.

I'm going to get all fluid flushed

I was going to buy NGK platinum plugs whatcha think?

I was going to get a s&B cai ? Or something better??

Should I consider a new throttlebody

Tires & pads gimmy

And I run 35x12.5x18's and a camper
Eight times throughout the year and occasionally a tractor on the trailer
Primarily my commuter is it worth re-gearing ?

Billet Technologies seems to be the consensus on catch cans. I ordered one like 3 weeks ago and haven't gotten it yet. They manufacture when its ordered so they have a wait time. I think you buy it directly through Moe's or somewhere I'd assume you get it faster. But BT was having a 30% off sale so I went through them

nope. Someone else can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong, but over the years it has been stated that the hemi works best with the stock copper plugs unless you have big motor mods

Royal Purple oil has no Molly, there are a lot of things that make a great oil and Molly is one of them in my opinion. There are much better full synthetic oils on the market, Redline, Amsoil, Shaffer, Penzoil Ultra Performance all are top of the line with good Molly numbers. The Royal Purple oil filter is hands down the best, part number 20-820. If you ask the people at the parts store they will tell you a different number and the oil filer is really small. Made for later models with electric power steering.
The platinum NGK plugs are for newer model trucks with different coil packs, don't use them. Run the copper 30k plugs.
The Catch can is always a good investment, never to late. I went with Billet Technologies. Very easy 15 minutes to install.
No need for a new throttle body, I would pull it off a clean it when you add your CAI. S&B is well made but it's all personnel preference.
PVC, definitely pop in a new one.
Flush all the fluids, definitely. Changing the tranny fluid is messy but not to bad, I went and got a kiddy pool from Wal-Mart and let the fluid drain out, the pool kept the fluid from draining all over. It's worth it trust me.
Deeper gears is hands down one of my favorites, you in a 4x4 or 2x4?

I'm a 4X4 I wanted to know if gearing would help with my towing of the camper and help with a little bit of the delay slow start because of the 35" tires

And what is the PCV and part number
