What do you guys think a good maintenance schedule would be? i am trying to find a simplified schedule that i can follow, OIL/FILTERS/Lube/ Tranny service etc...any links or rough guidelines would be appreciated, Gene.

we go 8,000 miles or 250 hrs on oil changes. 100,000 miles on synthetic gear oil in manual transmission and differentials. 50,000 miles or 1 1/2 years on automatics. would advise using synthetic automatic transmission fluid from allison. check cooling system every oil change with test strips.

GENECARP, I would suggest following what volvoman says. If you don't drive 8,000 miles a year, I suggest twice a year do an oil & filter change, on one of the visits- do fuel filters, chassis and driveline lube, and don't forget the coolant checks, brake adjusters, etc. During your travels you will see J-Lube, Speedco, Petrolube or other quick lubes at the truck stops. Stop by and see their schedule of services and talk to one of the techs and you may get a better understanding of a full service or a minor oil change.

Just my two cents.

I think Gene's got an autoshift or ultrashift, don't you Gene? So that would be treated the same as a manual I think for fluid.
