Truck Maintenance
So I have never been one to take GREAT care of my trucks just oil changes (every 10-15,000 miles) and fixing things that break at dealer, but I just ordered my first new diesel truck ever and want to take better care of her because of the hefty price tag and since I went diesel will have this truck in my fleet for the next 10 years minimum. What maintenance besides oil changes and fuel filter changes does everyone do out there. I'm wondering if anyone has a chart with all the grease fittings underneath the truck and how often those should be greased. Lets hear what everyone does to keep their trucks up and running smoothly!!

I change oil, add DEF and replace all of the filters myself. You can buy filters online much cheaper than at the dealer. There are only 2 grease fittings and they are on the end of the front axles on 4 wheel drive vehicles. I don't know about the 2 wheel drive vehicles. The manual will tell you the numbers and locations of all the maintenance that should be done. You will also have to check your antifreeze for PH and contamination when the information center tells you to do so( around 15000 miles).
