- 5.7 Hemi
My truck has 52,000 miles on her now. Bought it used 2 Junes ago with 33K on it. I change the engine oil/rotate the tires every 5K.
When are you guys changing out your diffs, T-case and transmission fluids? I read the owners manual and it does not mention anything about my 8 speed ZF trans maintenance schedule. Apparently Mopar feels it's a truck life fluid. I did a quick search and found ZF suggests 75-90 thousand miles. I do the fluid changes myself and have watched the transmission fluid change procedure several times. Looks like a PIA with a Hemi but I'll get it.
On my Jeep I change the oil every 5K. Transmission, T-case and diffs every 50K and radiator flush every 75K. We have 180,000 miles on her now. Bought this one new. No issues to date.
I'm thinking I'm gonna more or less follow the maintenance interval that I do on our Jeep. I just want to get an idea what you guys are doing.
Thoughts?
