    You're not always going to get along with everyone, there will always be people that rub you the wrong way.

    I'm at 291k on my '05 DC and I'm positive nothing has been done to my trans fluid. I ask about trans fluid every time I have it in for major service interval and keep getting the same "we checked the trans fluid and it looks fine...probably because you don't tow much" response. I still somewhat wonder if the dealer just doesn't want to deal with it - the reward isn't worth the risk perhaps. Dunno but I'll ask again next time I take it in....and probably get the same response.

    I did a drain and fill of the pan at 230k. So far no issues.

    I’ll do it again and again every 10k miles or so.

    That’s the plan anyways
