tune up
 

about how much does it cost for a tune up? i cant get a straight up ballpark answer lol
for my 96 dodge.

How long have you owned this truck? any idea of what kind of maintenance its had?

What kind of "tune up" are you looking to do?


Why not learn some about your truck and do it yourself?



BTW, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE KILLER DOWEL PIN (KDP)???

most of it is very easy! It really depends on what you consider a "tune Up " and what the truck need's for us to price it!

11 dollars a gallon for rotella t you need 3
mopar brand:
22 dollars for oil filter you need one
45 dollars fuel filter you need one
20 dollars air filter you need one
just did mine a few weeks ago what else does it need done

WHERE are you buying youre filters from??? Youre getting ripped off.

Get your filters from a Cummins Repair Centre. I pay $13 for a Stratapore oil filter and around $20 for a fuel filter.

comes straight from the dodge dealer.
wouldnt buy em any where else.

That's great if your comfortable with it.:U: I won't buy anything from a Dodge dealer unless absolutely necessary. I think they have way to inflated prices for me. And a lot of times I can get a better after market part. jmo :c:

Heck, Even at the dealership, an oil filter cost me $11.00??
Almost the same price on everything that Dr. E Quoted.
I also wouldnt run rotella unless i couldnt find anything else! Valv. Blue only for all of our customers trucks! I would check for algae in the fuel, and would run a good fuel treatment and thats basicly a good tune up unless its an auto truck!

adjust yer valve lash and consider some timing.......................it will be a new truck:U:

Ok, explain the reasoning to me. Do you think that the filters you get from Dodge are any better than the filters from Cummins? They are ALL Fleetguard filters and are made by a division of Cummins. Dodge just has the oil filters painted grey so they look different.

As for the Rotella, I will have to agree with Lucas - Rotella is about the last oil I would use. Its ok, but there are better choices, IMHO.

tune up, or bombing?:c:

i use baldwin filters on my truck w/ no problems ever,a bhaf, fuel, and tranny filters cost total of about 70 bucks for all,(less if i use the company discount on a cash ticket) do your home work and find out who makes and packages the dodge filters and you will never buy them again,(cheapest bidder of the day, whoever it may be, flavor of the moment, ect,ect,)if you want to spend more money, go to cummins, or heck buy cat filters or donaldson (only cost a small mint), and hey whats wrong w/ rotella??? 295K and no problems on my 96, just curious thats all, :pals:

i work at a serivce station and get good deals on filters and oil but i pay as much for cheap filters as you guys pay for cummins or dodge filters

Go to the local napa get a fuel filter for 29 bucks max buy a k&n or similar air filter and a good fleetguard oil filter and run delo or amsoil and if you can get ahold of it lucas racing oil but its hard to find

all my parts are "donations" I know the parts manager at my dealer he showed me what the prices were and then give me the parts. And for oil I will never run anything else in my diesel trucks but rotella. Its my preference so leave it be!:madd:

ROTELLA :U:

There are people who run Rotella and never have a problem,I must be one.

Everyone has a preference, it's up to the end user.

All I can say about filters is NO FRAM! (I have run Fleetguard from day one and will run nothing else, just a quirk of mine)

Like stated oil change, fuel filter, air filter, run the rack, some timing and you will be up and running in no time.:U:

i just found baldwin fuel filters for 17.99 i couldnt help but buy 10 of them
rotella sucks buy delo or amsoil:ph:
