I ran into a deal from a guy I work with on an 01 Ram quad cab 4x4. He was the original purchaser. Truck has 97k on it. Its in good shape and I want it to last
This is gonna be for my 17 year old son. I want opinions on what to do to keep it reliable.
So far, I have:
1. O/C with Rotella T5
2. Pan drop/ filter with Valvoline atf+4 and adjusted bands.
3. Drain/fill front/rear diffs w Mobil1
4. Drain/fill transfer case with Valvoline dex3
5. Flushed ps with Redline
6. Replaced brake hoses and flushed system
7. Water pump/thermostat and new hoses with coolant flush
8. Serpenine belt
9. Seafoam through the vacuum off the brake booster
9. All new Moog ball joints...had help with this only!
Will do the following when parts arrive:
1. Tune up- plugs,wires, cap and button
2. Transmission governor solenoid...this was recommended on a dodge forum. No issues just pm.
3. Magnefine atf filter
4. New idler pulleys
5. PVC valve
Can anyone think of anything else preventive maintenance wise? Also, this is my 1st Dodge truck. That being said, is there any quirks with this model I should be aware of?
Thank you
