Took my truck in to the local stealership, and was sent the attached information. My truck is a 2014 with 35,000 miles. These services they recommend don't even match up with the owner's manual. Ridiculous.

 

Also, if anyone has a how to on the differential fluid change, please let me know. Can't find any. Still a little hesitant to get a transmission flush as well.

Yea stick to your owners manual. A lot of that stuff is not needed and just used to drum up money/business for the dealership. The diff fluid changes are stupid easy, you can do them yourself.

 

Rear differential - unbolt the cover and let the fluid drain and then rebolt the cover back on with a new gasket. Refill the differential through the re fill hole.

How in the Hell do you service a battery that is "Maintenance Free"?

They call cleaning the lead post a service. :nonod:

 

I am in the wrong business. I am going to open a shop that specializes in "performing battery service". :shakehead:

One way the dealer gets around this is the extreme service section of the manual. While you're under warranty you may want to read that section. Almost every vehicle will fall under that depending on vehicle manufacturer. Nice little scam that could get them out of a warranty claim if they desire.

The sad thing is some people fall for that. Jeez, almost $700 to replace both diff/transfer case and transmission fluid.

What is the "Total Fuel System Service" exactly? They pour a bottle of fuel cleaner in your fuel tank and charge you almost $300.....ridiculous. That is why I do my own stuff.

I can see them denying a warranty claim on a blower motor if you don't have proof that you have been changing the cabin filter yourself. Keep recipes if your a do it yourself person.

I would not do a transmission "exchange" or "flush" or what ever they call it, can cause problems. Just either have them or diy dropping what fluid will come out of the pan and replace the filter every 30k miles or so. Rear diff is not too bad but the front can be a slight pain because you will need a pump to be able to get the new fluid back in but those can be bought at any wallyworld for a few bucks.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
