Summary

TLDRIn this video, the speaker discusses the maintenance required for trucks every 50,000 miles. Key tasks include servicing the transmission by replacing the OEM fluid and filter, checking the rear end, and ensuring proper functioning of parts used primarily for towing. They emphasize the importance of changing the CCV filter every 50,000 miles, despite official indicators suggesting later, as it contributes significantly to the after-treatment's longevity. The speaker notes that the first 50,000-mile service should ideally be done at 30,000 miles due to initial break-in. Another vital task is maintaining the interior filter. For newer models post-2018, replacing this filter regularly is crucial; older models may require modification to accommodate a filter. This replacement helps prevent blower motor issues and promotes better air quality, especially when using charcoal filters. The speaker suggests considering miles and time for interior filter changes, recommending changes twice a year for those driving around 12,000 miles annually. Overall, the video offers a straightforward 50,000-mile maintenance regimen that promotes truck longevity and efficiency.

    having so many fleet vehicles I've seen
  • 00:00:43
    some of them get neglected you know 50
  • 00:00:45
    60,000 on the first interval my

    fluid mobile 3309 is the part number for
  • 00:01:11
    that fluid mobile builds the makes the
  • 00:01:13
    fluid produces the fluid so that's the
  • 00:01:15
    fluid that's the bottom line that's what
  • 00:01:16
    you should be searching for if you can't
  • 00:01:18
    find your local Volvo dealer they have
  • 00:01:21
    ice and fluid your Toyota dealer has ice
  • 00:01:23
    and fluid it's called I and fluid but
  • 00:01:25
    mobile buils the fluid so o filter and O
  • 00:01:30
    uh fluid and then rear end every 50,000
  • 00:01:34
    keep in mind these trucks all they do is
  • 00:01:35
    tow they tow you know 15 to 20,000 lbs
  • 00:01:39
    nothing extreme for these four G but you
  • 00:01:42
    know fifg do the same thing but we do
  • 00:01:45
    every uh every 50,000 Mi now I'll follow
  • 00:01:49
    up what to expect out of that but before
  • 00:01:52
    I do that I also do the CCV filter every
  • 00:01:56
    50,000 I think the owner is manual and
  • 00:01:58
    the the message thing it triggers at
  • 00:02:02
    67 or 75 don't don't question my me guys
  • 00:02:06
    CCV filter is so important and for your
  • 00:02:09
    after treatment and the life of your
  • 00:02:11
    after treatment you're not saving a
  • 00:02:12
    whole lot just put it in there every
  • 00:02:14
    50,000 mies you'll be well ahead CCV
  • 00:02:17
    filter very overlooked part now your
  • 00:02:19
    intake not your intake your interior
  • 00:02:22
    filter 18 and
  • 00:02:25
    over's a little streaky 18 and over have
  • 00:02:28
    a cabin filter back there anything older
  • 00:02:30
    than 18 does not have it if you do not
  • 00:02:32
    have it you could easily um make one
  • 00:02:36
    because they already outlined I don't
  • 00:02:37
    know why why Ram did the stupid thing
  • 00:02:39
    they outlined the hole but they didn't
  • 00:02:41
    punch it so if you're carries just get a
  • 00:02:43
    utility knife carve it out Slide the
  • 00:02:45
    filter in there everything else is there
  • 00:02:47
    just the lid was in created when you go
  • 00:02:49
    by a lid you will come across the
  • 00:02:52
    question do you want the kit or not
  • 00:02:53
    literally the kit comes with the lid
  • 00:02:55
    that you've cut out meaning the Nappa
  • 00:02:59
    will sell you this right and the filter
  • 00:03:00
    or you could just have the filter if you
  • 00:03:02
    don't know what I'm talking about go to
  • 00:03:03
    your local autoo automotive place and
  • 00:03:06
    just ask them for an interior filter and
  • 00:03:07
    they'll tell you do you want the kit or
  • 00:03:09
    just the filter and that's what the kit
  • 00:03:10
    is it's the cap once you put a hole in
  • 00:03:13
    it you can put a cap over after you
  • 00:03:15
    insert a filter and that does it so in
  • 00:03:18
    interior filter is very important
  • 00:03:20
    because if you don't keep up with that
  • 00:03:21
    it will uh fry your blower motor okay
  • 00:03:24
    guys that's my 50,000 Mi interval it's
  • 00:03:27
    very basic it's very simple
  • 00:03:30
    uh so every 50,000 after 30,000 miles
  • 00:03:34
    every 50,000 do your initial service I
  • 00:03:36
    highly advise you to do the first 50,000
  • 00:03:39
    mile at 30,000 Mi because you're
  • 00:03:41
    breaking in Gears you're breaking in
  • 00:03:42
    clutches everything but you don't have
  • 00:03:44
    to do it it just makes me feel better um
  • 00:03:47
    and then the CCV just every 50 and the
  • 00:03:50
    reason I do interior every 50 because to
  • 00:03:53
    us for us it's like every 6 months we
  • 00:03:56
    you know rack on 50,000 miles so twice a
  • 00:03:59
    year you know that's a good way to think
  • 00:04:01
    about the interior the interior is not
  • 00:04:03
    so much the the filter on the interior
  • 00:04:05
    is not so much as mileage for us as it's
  • 00:04:08
    timing just like any vehicle if you
  • 00:04:10
    drive it at least 12,000 m a year just
  • 00:04:13
    change it twice a year um it's not going
  • 00:04:16
    to hurt anything they're like 20 bucks
  • 00:04:19
    15 20 bucks a filter super easy it's
  • 00:04:21
    easier on your blower it's easier on
  • 00:04:23
    your health if you get the right filter
  • 00:04:25
    that actually has a charcoal in it helps
  • 00:04:26
    you less smoke and dust in your cabin
  • 00:04:29
    it's just a better environment anyways
  • 00:04:31
    guys as always may the Lord bless you
  • 00:04:34
    and may you all have a mighty fine day
  • 00:04:36
    CH bye
