15k miles

I call the stealer today and they wanted $165 to do a 15mile service!! what all do they do for the 15k??? Can I get a list of what your guys do for your 15K?

I just did a normal oil change at 15k with the normal inspection.

I replace my air filter every 10k miles (normal schedule is 30k), and lube my driveline every 10k miles (normal schedule 15k).

So apart fromt the normal oil change and inspection, they should only lube the driveline, inspect fluids in driveline (diffs, etc) and rotate tires.

I did change my diff, transfer case and tranny fluids at 20k. Toy ATF type IV for the tranny and M1 gear oil for the rest.

you have an 04, your maintenance is supposedly different then the 03, if you don't tow your fluid is lifetime, just change the oil and grease the driveline eventually, Pitbull usually knows everything

15k: They usually change the oil and filter, rotate the tires and replace the differential fluid. Plus a bunch of "inspections". A lot of them will also try to sell you a brake flush and injection service, which i really don't think is necessary. You should also have your AC filter changed, but do it yourself, my dealer wanted to charge $50 for doing it when the filter is less than $20.

My dealers 15k service: they charge about $200
oil & filter 5 quarts, they charge extra for 6.5
trans fluid change
front diff change
rear diff change
transfer case change
new wiper blade inserts
replace air filter
rotate tires
plus inspect & check everything else
greasing driveshafts they may or maynot do it
incabin micro filter extra $60
injector cleaning extra $170

an easy $400

My other dealer does nothing until 30k except minor stuff and the driveshaft:

After reading some posts by members on other boards about the condition of their fluids at 15K, I decided to be on the safe side and had both front and rear differentials and the transfer case changed out. I don't consider that any different than someone who changes engine oil at 2-3K. They were darker than I expected at 15K so I felt good about it. I'll do them at the recommended intervals from here out.

PS, the members that posted the info off roaded theirs as do I. I plan on driving it for 200K at least.

Funny, my dealer service department said they didn't need to do anything at 15K miles (other than the normal oil change, check fluids, tire rotation, air filter). He said most of that stuff recommended doesn't really need to be done, just a money maker for them.
I am at 30K miles now and will probably change the rear diff. fluid. I grease the drive line every other oil change.
