    My ’18 Sport 4x4 has less than 300 miles on it and looking to do some of the “check it out/you should do” items
    often found mentioned on this forum. Searched the past posts, checked out the “sticky’s” and here’s what
    I come up with to do……
    If anyone has another to add…or a correction based on ‘it’s an ’18 and don’t need to do it” please chime in.
    (BTW assume the dealer actually did the PSD/PDI but don’t hurt to self check these……

    1. AT fluid level (little involved but w the info in past posts think I can handle it).
    2. Diff (front and rear)fluid level
    3. Transfer case fluid level
    4. Leaf springs u-bolt tightness/torque
    5. Grease the 2 zeros on the front d-shaft
    6. Re-torque the front and rear d-shaft universal bolts
    7. Missing anything?

    Input any appreciated
    Thanks….

    It's a brand new truck. Don't screw with it. Make the dealer do it.
