Bought it used from a dealership

I bought a 2002 CTD 4x4 Dually from a dealership in Seguin, TX. It has 43,000 mi on it.

I was told by the dealership that ALL the fluids had been changed. They said they had to do this to offer the extended warranty.

Is this true?

Did you buy your truck from wyatt Arp Dodge,thats were I got mine new,they are a very honest group of people so if they told you they changed all of the fluids I would take their word.

pull out the dipsticks (trans if an auto and oil) and take a peek...the oil in our engines gets dark quick so you'll know....welcome to the site and good luck w/ your new truck

take out your drain plug on the rear differential......dip your finger in and put some of the oil on a white piece of paper....youll be able to tell if its new or not.
