What maintainence should I do on my '97100K mint.

Oil changed every 3000K miles. Mint condition Don't think valves ever adjusted. What's this KDsomething that I've been reading and what should I do, plus other things..I really don't think anything was ever done. Should I go to a Dodge dealer and "float a loan" Truck has been pampered. Thanks

Fluids in the Tranny, Diff and Transfer if you tow alot every year.
Fuel filter every year.
Engine coolent, hoses, thermo and belt every 2 years.

I noticed some brown substance on the inside of cooling system that can wipe clean, inside the opening of the radiator. What is the best way to clean that film probably coated throughout cooling system. I really don't think I have to take radiator off. If you guys know something good , please pass it along.

Jimbo1, The manual tranny should be changed every so often but unsure of the timing. Look at your manual for that.<br><br>The diff (differential) is the rear end.<br><br>Looks like yours is not a 4X4 so no transfer case so no issue.<br><br>Coolent flush and fill is needed. <br><br>Keep asking questions! ;D
