I don't recall any set schedule but I could be wrong. How does the fluid look?

Don't know the answer either as if/when it should be done. Don't recall ever doing it at the dealer, other than when a part was replaced.

I will tell you though, if you do this, make 100% damn sure you don't get any air in the system. It is a total be-och to purge.

Thumbs up Under heavy loads....

I found some people that said that if you haul heavy often then change it every 50,000 or so, other than that IDK, I will just go ahead and change it just to be safe, it is a new clutch, master cylinder and slave cylinder, they have about 8500 on them right now and I just want to be safe before I start haulin' them trees this year!!!!

Thanks for the help!!!!
