Severe-duty schedule
For trucks that tow, operate in dusty conditions, make short trips, or are in cold climates, the severe-duty schedule is recommended. This includes more frequent oil changes (every 5,000 miles), earlier transmission service, and more frequent inspections of brakes and suspension components.
Known issues by mileage
- 30,000 miles: Premature brake wear, particularly on the front rotors and pads.
- 60,000 miles: The 5.7L HEMI V8 may develop an exhaust manifold leak, known as the "HEMI tick."
- 100,000 miles: The electronic throttle body can fail, leading to stalling or a loss of power.
Estimated cost per service
- Oil Change: $50 - $100
- Tire Rotation: $20 - $40
- Cabin Air Filter: $40 - $80
- Engine Air Filter: $30 - $60
- Spark Plug Replacement: $200 - $500
- Transmission Service: $250 - $500
- Coolant Flush: $150 - $250
