    Alright, the time has come for my 27K mile maintenance! Here is what I plan on doing:

    Change the diff fluid
    Change transfer case oil
    Change oil and filter (Mobile1 Filter with 0W-20 Mobile 1)
    Install AFE dry pro filter
    Rotate Tires
    Grease/"Torque" drive shaft
    Clean the throttle body
    Make/Replace cabin air filter


    Now for my questions:

    Since I have the I4 I donot need to worry about spark plugs, correct?

    Since I have 4x4, does anything need done with the tansfer case?

    Do I need to do anything with the clutch/tranny due to the 5 speed?

    Yes forgot to mention synthetic everything. Also somewhere in the depths of TW i read about additive for smoother shifting. Anyone know what that was? Redline?

    Anyway I have no problems with the smoothness of the shifts, its just a little clunky (what i expect from a truck) and hard to get into certain gears in certain situations.

    switch the clutch fluid over to synthetic.....should make for crisper/smoother shifts, get into gear easier.

    I changed all my fluids to synthetic at 10k. You don't need to worry about the spark plugs until 100k. We have iridium plugs that will be good for 100k.

    I have a 2WD so I did not have to worry about the transfer case. I guess you can change the fluid in the transfer case. I used this site as a general reference.

    mt90 for your "tranny" should be fine..........or a 75w90 may work too...check with chris to be sure. and for the diffs and transfer case......75w90 is great....mobil1 is great too. thats what i run.

    Any recommendations for tranny fluid, or does it too share the same gear oil as the rest.

    And i fill it via radiator, correct:p

    Mobil 1 75-90 will work fine in the tranny. Fill it via the defroster vent.
