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?

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.
