It really depends on your driving habits....
Check your owners manual, that will have all the info.

 

Owners manual X2 ^^.

I'd use the Severe Service categories - most folks who live in urban areas and use their trucks like trucks (not garage queens) fall into this group.

If it were my truck? You should have changed yer fuel filter at least twice by now. Rear diff fluid. Pan drop, tranny filter change/refill at the minimum. Coolant. 4 years = time to R&R the brake fluid. Lube that dang emergency brake system! Clean the MAF. Air filter. Battery health. Change the headlite bulbs - they do dim over time. Tire rotations. Check brake pad wear... and so forth ....

As for plugs - well, you should read up on those here. Again - to save yerself some potential grief later perhaps replace them now, following the latest TSB. Your chances for success go down the longer you wait. Just my view - there are other opinions on this ...

Here's some linkies for ya from a quickie search. Not all are immediately relevant, but you get the idea. You have relatively low miles so some stuff can wait, but it's a good mindset to have....

Then there's the paint lol !

J&J did a great job collating all of that info

 

and my driving habbits arent too bad, the truck isnt used for work just hauling the ATV around. other than that i drive alot of highways, although i do run it pretty hard always smokin those rams and silverados that get stuck around 105 when my speedo's touchin 120 haha

 

OOooooo - take er easy. Some of these truck tires are not rated that high ...

 

haha i will, thanks again MGD i appreciate the help
