Says 45K service trans under severe service guidelines, so it could be open to judgment for severe usage? The normal maintenance schedule is still 90k
Since I bought this truck used and I’m not sure if the previous owner did a lot of towing or not I’m gonna play it safe.Says 45K service trans under severe service guidelines, so it could be open to judgment for severe usage? The normal maintenance schedule is still 90k
According to the diesel supplement manual, the 45k trans service is for severe service use of the truck. On a usual daily driver vehicle for the average owner, you are not in the severe use catagory. You are driving and using the truck for what it is meant to do. If you are driving in extreame conditions of taxing the truck pulling the max weight daily, you would now qualify for the severe use catagory.I just found out today that our tranny is supposed to be serviced at 45K. From what I’ve seen online it’s a pain in the ass because there’s no drain plug and you have to drop the pan to change the filter. Was wondering if any of you have had to get this done yet. I’m at 43,000 miles right now so I guess I’ll be getting it done soon, can’t wait to see what the Stealership will charge for this.
With the 5-year 100,000 powertrain warranty with the LM2 diesel, I'd say it's a smart move to let the dealer do it while under warranty.Called my Stealership and they said the tranny service would be about $295. I’ve got an oil change coming up in about 2K so I’ll just get it all done at the same time.
