30k Maintenance

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?

 

are you gonna run synthetic?? even if not....i'd still change the transfer case oil.

 

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.

 

Ok I have absolutely no idea where said fluids are located, much less what viscosity, even what its called haha

 

to me....same difference when im referring to a manual tranny. i reckon anyway.

 

Any recommedations for tranny fluid?


Also Any good oil

$28 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75W-90 (mobile1, etc) will work for diff, Tcase right?

Edit: The reference of clutch fluid never even remotely crossed my mind as tranny fluid! my bad

 

aye,aye captain!!

 

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

 

That is what I used.

 

Gotcha, thanks for the advice!

Chris you mind validating or embarrassing will on his tranny fluid suggestions?

 

Alright thanks a bunch.

Tomorrow I am changing out the oil in the girlfriends car, I will post pics of the foulness that drains out of there

 

hey germ.................go ahead and seafoam the truck, then do the oil change. i forgot to add that earlier!
