My father just bought a new Dodge Ram 2500, 4x4, loaded, off road package with the Cummins diesel and auto tranny. I'm insanely jealous.
As a good son and seeing that I'll probably inherit this gem in 20 years, I would like to help keep his maintenance on track. He's usually pretty good about motor oil changes, but trannies, tranfer cases, axles and such usually get forgotten about. He's under then insane notion that he will be changing the engine oil every 2000 miles. I beleive the manual specifies 10,000 miles for an OCI.
So - is there any Cummins owners out there who could give me advise on OCIs, oil choice and drivetrain maintenance? Thanks in advance!
