Hey all.... I have nearly 500 miles on the truck and plan to dump some of the fluids to clear any break in junk that may be floating around. I wanted to get your feedback on my plan. I will be changing at 500 then 2000 then onto my normal 5,000 mile schedule. Dino in the engine for now will switch to syn at 5K in engine.

- Drop Oil and Filter. Replace oil with Delo 400 LE (BITOG UOA showing excellent results with Delo) and Wix filter
- Drop rear diff fluid and replace with Mobil 1 synthetic
- Drop Allison spin on and replace (not forgetting the magnet)

What do you folks think? Thanks for the feedback!!
