Any additional service needed @ 65k miles?

Just turned 65k miles on my '06 PSD CC/LB 4x4 driven 50/50 highway/City. Occasional hauling and trailering. Never off road......

Besides regular oil/filter changes, fuel filter changes, air filter, and other consumables like brake pads, what other service should be done on the 6.0 PSD by 65k miles or 2 years?

Auto Trans service? Rear diff oil change? transfer case? etc?

And down the road after 75-100k+ miles?

dunno, coolant flush at 90k. I recommend a coolant filter if you're looking to take care of parts. Mine is going on in a couple weeks. write up to follow.

DD,

I guess at 2 years its about time for a coolant flush. I'll look into the filter, Keep us posted on your install. Thanks

I'm hitting 60K and was planning on a tranny fluid change... I've heard the Allisons that are so similar to the torque shift appreciate frequent fluid changes..... What do you guys think?

I agree w/ doing the tranny fluid change / flush.

I have heard that some folks install MOOG greasable ball joints between 50,000 and 100,000 because theirs have worn out.

Hmmmm.... Yeah, Now that you mention it I'll probably be doing the ball joints too... I've been noticing alot of steering play over the last 10k or so miles....
