    Maintenance schedules and inspection procedures built for trucks that haul, tow, and rack up miles

    Trucks that tow trailers, carry loads, or run daily highway miles wear out components faster than lightly used vehicles. This manual includes the routine maintenance and inspection procedures that keep hard-working trucks on the road, including:

    • Oil and filter change procedures and service intervals
    • Transmission fluid change for the 8-speed automatic
    • Brake pad, rotor, and fluid inspection and replacement
    • Suspension and steering component inspection
    • Cooling system flush, hose, and radiator service
    • Battery, starting, and charging system checks
    • Factory-spec torque settings and maintenance schedules

    Following a regular maintenance routine helps you catch worn ball joints, leaking seals, and tired brake components before they sideline your truck. That means less downtime, lower repair bills, and a truck that holds its value.
