45000 Miles Comming Up

[Weems2k]

So I bought my Nitro practically new a couple years ago. I'm coming up on 45000 miles soon. 95% of that is highway. The stock tires will need to be replaced this fall. As far as coolant and transmission flushed, should I have that done? My previous vehicle, I had the coolant flushed every 45000 miles, and transmission every 70000mi. My last oil change at the dealership, they suggested a full tuneup at around 50000mi. I don't think it needs one done that soon. I have a 2008 SXT. Thanks for any suggestions.

I bought mine new in 2008: SXT, 4x4, 3.7. now - 41,000 miles

I had a trans service at 30K, that is overkill, but these vehicles had a rep with trans issues, so I did it early. I will have next trans service at 70K (40K interval). note: I did have to have 2 trans flashes.

Front & Rear differential service at 40K will do again @ 80K

Coolant flush will be done at 100K or 5 years, no reason to do it sooner.

I changed my plugs at 30k, that is suggested interval on the 3.7. However, I put the bosch platinum +4, so I won't do mine again until 100K.

A vehicle tune up is a rip off. If you look at it all they are doing is changing your plugs, do it yourself.

Just to say I have the lifetime powertrain & Wrap warranty. I have to take it in for a vehicle inspection at 100K, so I am staying up on service, not taking any chances in case there is a failure somewhere.
