Need Some Info!

I bought a 04.5' QC 4x4 3500 SRW with 30,000 miles on it and everything is great but I am moving in two months and have a couple questions. The truck will be used to tow my Jeep and will be a daily driver until I move then just a towrig. The trans shifts smooth and no issues starting in cold weather.

I have searched but not getting the answers I was looking for.

Should you run a fuel additive and why?

What is normally done for a 30,000 mile service?

I have no problem changing the engine oil but what else should I look for?

Thanks,
Jeremy

we run a lot of diesel thru my trucks and very rarely put any additives in and your owner manual will tell you what to do on the 30k service. the only other thing i can tell you is to use a good fuel filter the lower the microns the better like a 7 or 5 to keep your injectors from dying
