Your owners manual will confirm this - plug swap at 30K.I had the oil changed today in my truck. 28,000 on the odo. The service rep tells me everything looked good. No probs. Now, since my truck is 2k shy from the 30k service, I asked about it. $459. Ouch. I asked what was done which was already posted previously by other members here. I will definitely be doing the majority of work on my own. Also, about the spark plugs, I have never heard of them being replaced at 30k.
For the V6 it is 30k and for the 4 banger it is 100k.I had the oil changed today in my truck. 28,000 on the odo. The service rep tells me everything looked good. No probs.

And you can remove the Diff oil change from the list if you aren't towing.Your owners manual will confirm this - plug swap at 30K.
The 30K mile service can be done for less than $100 in parts:
1. Inspect air filter and cabin filter. Replace if necessary
2. Rear diff oil, transfer case oil (4x4), front diff oil (4x4)
3. Spark plugs
4. Grease drive shaft(s)
5. Change engine oil and filter
Very simple and can be performed in the driveway without ramps, and with basic hand tools, for less than $100 and 2 - 3 hours your first time.
Why wouldn't you do it? You would save a ton of money and have more $$$ for mods later. :thumbsup:$916.80 for 30,000 service?
I would not only do it myself, but would find a new dealer service center.
Oh, I have done all the scheduled maintenance work myself. The only work I have had done by the dealer is re-torquing the drive shaft (do not have a ft/lb torque wrench).Why wouldn't you do it? You would save a ton of money and have more $$$ for mods later. :thumbsup:
And what is the ft/lb for the drive shaft?Oh, I have done all the scheduled maintenance work myself. The only work I have had done by the dealer is re-torquing the drive shaft (do not have a ft/lb torque wrench).
