2500 2012' Maintenence Schedule etc.
I have a 2012 2500 4x4 that has about 57,000 miles on it. I have been having the oil, fuel filter, and air filter replaced at regular intervals. The catalytic converter was stolen a few months ago and replaced with an new OEM part. Recently I started hearing a fairly loud squeak coming from the right rear tire when I brake (at high,low speeds and when driving straight or turning), I am also hearing what sounds like a squealing belt from under the hood when I first start the truck.
My question is: What kind of maintenance schedule should I put the truck on to keep it running well? I know I need to address the squeaks (brakes and belt), but I'd also like to do preventative maintenance. What do you recommend I start with? What tends to go bad first on these trucks?
Thanks,
Also, if you can recommend a quality mechanic in South Houston/Clear Lake area.

Just a plain ole guy
I've had several of them. Regular oil changes, fuel filter change every other oil change. Rotate tires every 3000 miles, check air in tires all the time. Look at everything every time I'm under there. Even try to shake things like tie rod ends. I've only had K&N air filters. Clean them every few months. There are other things like the CCV filter that should be changed on the 2012 every 67,500.
I think just maintain it like you would maintain any vehicle. Also don't try to tear it up every time you drive it.
