Hey guys.......We just moved from Phoenix to Topeka. Does anyone know a good dealer in the Topeka area? I definately need an oil change, and am wondering about the NV5600 and diffs.
The truck has 10K miles on it. 2,500 of those 10,000 have been pulling a 16,800 lb. fiver. It still has the new-from-the-factory oil in the tranny and pumpkins. I have changed the engine oil every 3k, except at 9k because we were on the road.
With all this heavy towing, is it time to change the oil in the tranny and differentials? Is it too early for synthetics? Are synthetics worth it? Will a dealer put in synthetics for me? We tow heavy about every 3 months, and have the potential to go anywhere west of the Mississippi river, so can be some long hauls.
If you need more info than what is in my sig, let me know.
Thanks for your input.
Steve
