Noob here

[Spartan01]

Hello all,
Great stuff on this forum...
I’m Matt, just bought my first Ram two months ago (2016 1500 4x4)

I have a total noob question.
I bought the truck with 36k miles,
When should I really change the tranny fluid, both differential fluids, and the antifreeze?
I know when it’s scheduled, but what’s the real consensus?
Much obliged!

Welcome! Glad to have you here. Did you get any maintenance records with the truck when you bought it so you know the maintenance history? I always like to start from scratch so I do all the maintenance items when I buy used so I I have a good foundation to start from. The trans I think is 100k so I wouldn't do that unless the previous owner towed heavy and towed often. The diff's aren't that expensive to change but the antifreeze ain't cheap by any means. Really it's your call, depending on the trucks condition and any previous maintenance records.
Jay
