What's up. I have read the maintenance info and service intervals numerous times and see oil (non engine) changes I am supposed to be doing now or soon. I have 32k on my srt and really don't drive it too hard. What fluids, oils NEED to be changed now to avoid problems. Tcase, transmisson, diffs, brake,etc......or can I get by another 10k without doing damage?

I have 31,000 and had the driveline serviced,( tcase and diff's). The tech said it needed it bad. I also had the trans. fluid flushed. It looked crazy bad! I drive mine hard. The hardest part was the bill. 700.00. Hopefully you have already did your diffs. at 15,000.

The synthetics were like 50.oo a quart for trans case and 40.00 for diffs. I sleep much better knowing it's done.

if you plan on keeping your rig for a long time i'd change the axle and xfer case fluid. if not, don't worry about it, i bet it would run on the original fluid without causing issues way past the 100k mile mark.

I definetely didn't change the diff fluids at 15k. Is ̃his really bad and can I screw things up if its not done soon?

It's still under the 30k mile service, so you'll want to get that done. The dealer will probably want to charge you a lot, so you'll want to visit Leigh/magnumman426 @ McDonagh after hours for the hook up.
