something to drain the oil in....better get a few extra qts,,oil filter wrench..and a wrench to remove the drain plug
 
Damn I knew I forgot something ;)
 
10w-30? Factory recommends 0w-40 or even 0w-50 I think. Hopefully someone else can verify this but I don't think you want to go 10w-30
 
I would start with your owners manual. They even give you a neat little chart to help you determine what needs to be done. (sarcasm aside :rock: ) Many items are not mileage related...i.e. coolant, brake fluid etc Often overlooked item is power steering fluid.
 
straight from Chrysler website

SRT-10 SCHEDULES
There are two maintenance schedules that show the required service for your vehicle.

First is Schedule “Bâ€. It is for vehicles that are operated under the conditions that are listed below and at the beginning of the schedule.

Day or night temperatures are below 32° F (0° C).
Stop and go driving.
Extensive engine idling.
Driving in dusty conditions.
Short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km).
More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather, above 90° F C (32°).
Heavy Loading.
Taxi, police, or delivery service (commercial service).
Off-road or desert operation.
If equipped for and operating with E-85 (ethanol) fuel.
NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then change your engine oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first and follow schedule “B†of the "Maintenance Schedules" section of this manual.

NOTE: Most vehicles are operated under the conditions listed for Schedule "B".

Second is Schedule “Aâ€. It is for vehicles that are not operated under any of the conditions listed under Schedule "B".

Use the schedule that best describes your driving conditions. Where time and mileage are listed, follow the interval that occurs first.

NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6000 miles (10 000 km) or 6 months whichever comes first.

CAUTION: Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.
At Each Stop for Fuel
Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.
Once a Month
Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and transmission and add as needed.
Check all lights and all other electrical items for correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
Change the engine oil filter.
Inspect the exhaust system.
Inspect the brake hoses.
Inspect the CV joints (if equipped) and front suspension components.
Check the automatic transmission fluid level.
Check the manual transmission fluid level.
Check the coolant level, hoses, and clamps.
Tire Rotation
Rotate the tires at 6,000 miles (10 000 km).
Schedule “Bâ€
Day or night temperatures are below 32° F (0° C).
Stop and go driving.
Extensive engine idling.
Driving in dusty conditions.
Short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km).
More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather, above 90° F C (32°).
Taxi, police, or delivery service (commercial service).
Off-road or desert operation.
If equipped for and operating with E-85 (ethanol) fuel.
NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then change your engine oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first and follow schedule “B†of the "Maintenance Schedules" section of this manual.

If none of these apply to you, then change your engine oil at every interval shown on schedule "A" of the "Maintenance Schedules" section of this manual.

Sorry the post is so sloppy, the X's didn't line up with the appropriate mileage:dontknow:
 
Which one does the miles does the x line up with for rear axle oil change? I have done well with everything else but when I first bought it someone on here I think it was said that it was every 50,000 miles and that the rear end comes with synthetic already installed from the factory.
 
thanks guys once again ..............

how many beers do i need to do a service?????????

Rear diff every 15k and autotrans every 30 k,
I just did mine at 15k, I put the synt I also put the limited slip additive in it for a lil more

You know the sevice people told me the trans needed the fluid and filter changed and the band adjusted every 15,000. I had it done at 18,000. I am at 28,000 and she is slipping under semi hard eccelleration everynow and then.
 
In the front of the owners manuel it says something about if using for "drag racing" conditions fluid and maintenance should be done when needed not by schedule intervals. I think it did say to change the autotrans fluid at 15 under those conditions. I dont know much about the autobox in these trucks, but with most other autos we don't change the filter till around 60k we flush them out, replacing 100% of the fluid.
The slip you may be filling could be either the governor pressure sensor and transducer shorting out, or depending of fluid debris maybe something more serious.
