Change your fluids folks, its important. The below are for 3rd gen ram 1500s. Check your manual for specific years.
Motor Oil
* 7qts, 5W-20 Synthetic recommended
* Change every 3000-5000 miles
* Synthetic is recommended
Front Axle
* 2.1qts, 75w-90 Synthetic
* Check every other oil change, top off if needed.
* Change every 10,000-15,000 miles
Procedure:
1. Remove air hose from the front of differential
2.Loosen differential bolts and use an oil pan to catch the oil.
3.Allow to drain for 20-30 minutes.
4.Clean old gaskets off and inspect gears for damage.
5.Clean cover and apply new rtv gasket and install.
6.Hand-tighten bolts slightly, and allow rtv gasket to dry for 30 mins.
7.Fill just below the hole, and install plug.
Rear Axle
* 2.4qts, 75W-140 Synthetic
* Check every oil change, top off if needed.
* Change every 10,000-15,000 miles
Procedure:
*Same as the front axle.
Transfer Case
*2 Bottles of Dodge/Chrysler ATF4+ Transmission Fluid
*Change every 75,000 miles, inspect every 30,000 miles.
Procedure:
1. There are two drain bolts on the rear of the case. Remove them using a large allen key. Start at the top, and then the bottom while holding a drain pan close. The fluid is going to shoot out so keep the pan close until it drains.
2. Allow to drip for 20 minutes, a lot of fluid will slowly drip-drain.
3. Install lower bolt and wipe clean.
4. Fill and install bolts.
5. Enjoy.
