Default Diesel tune up (sevice)

Hi All,

New to diesels and I have an '03 Ram cummins. For all my gas vehicles normally I would do a spring "tune up" plugs/wires/oil an filter ect... What do you all normally do to maintain/tune up your cummins??

I was thinking oil and filter change and new fuel filter is there anything else that should be taken care of on a regular bases on the cummins??
Thanks

Change Oil and Filter, Change Fuel Filter, Clean IAT and MAP Sensors, Check all your other fluids such as Transfer Case, Front and Rear Diffs, Check Brakes including Parking Brake.

speaking of maintenance / tune ups, is there a " kit "
that allows you to remove the diff fluids and replace
it ? like a pump of some sort ?

Hey thanks for the heads up. Do you know if there is a write up showing where the IAT and MAP sensors are located on an '03 cummins??

You are better off taking the cover off completely so you can inspect the gears for any damage....
