Severe-duty Schedule
For trucks that see heavy use—towing, commercial use, dusty environments, or lots of short trips—the maintenance schedule needs to be more aggressive.
- Oil & Filter: Every 5,000 miles is a good rule of thumb, but the onboard oil life monitor is the final authority.
- Tire Rotation: 5,000 - 7,500 miles to equalize wear, especially when towing.
- Filters: In dusty conditions, the engine and cabin air filters will need more frequent replacement. Check them every 10,000 to 15,000 miles.
- Transmission: For trucks that tow frequently, a transmission fluid and filter service every 60,000 miles is a wise investment.
Known Issues by Mileage
- 30,000 miles: The 8-speed automatic transmission has been known to exhibit rough shifting. A software update from the dealer can often resolve this.
- 60,000 miles: Air suspension systems can develop leaks, causing the truck to sag. Listen for the compressor running more than usual.
- 100,000 miles: The Hemi V8 has been known to develop lifter and camshaft issues, often signaled by a ticking noise from the engine. Regular oil changes with high-quality oil are your best defense.
Estimated Cost Per Service
- 5,000-mile service: $80 - $150 (oil change, tire rotation)
- 30,000-mile service: $200 - $400 (oil change, tire rotation, filters)
- 60,000-mile service: $500 - $900 (adds spark plugs, brake fluid)
- 100,000-mile service: $800 - $1,500 (adds coolant flush, PCV valve)
What You Can DIY vs. Shop
- DIY: Oil and filter changes, tire rotations (with a good jack and stands), cabin and engine air filter replacements are all very DIY-friendly.
- Shop: Transmission fluid and filter service, coolant flushes, brake fluid flushes, and spark plug replacements are best left to the pros unless you have the right tools and experience. The timing chain inspection is also a shop job.
