What is the latest reccomended service items for my 2021 Ranger Lariet? I plan on doing the standard items, however I plan on keeping the truck for as long as I can, so need some additional thoughts on Preventative Maintenance for longevity and service. Differential, front wheel drive, transfer case, auto trans, and plugs come to mind..Give me your experience and recommendations.

Driveshaft grease might be one to add to the list.

Right around 50k I had the transmission and differential fluid changed. Cost about $1200 for the dealership to do it. I’m at 62k now, next oil change I’ll probably do spark plugs and add some injector cleaning fluid when I fill up. Dealership told me that a fluid change for the front diff isn’t necessary unless you use 4wd or tow a lot. I don’t do either, so I left the front alone. Can’t think of anything else that would really be necessary. Just check all your fluids and see how they’re looking.

Saw someone mention driveshaft grease… Haven’t done mine but probably should. That’s a project I don’t have time for at the moment, between work and a few other home improvement projects I’m tackling.

I did the T-case both axle fluids and the transmission myself on my Tremor at around 55,000. for around 250 bucks.

required, check manual

recommended, basic - oil/filter, caf, engine air filer. Diffs, trans, transfer case. Fuel system cleaner in gas, spark plugs. Maybe a brake flush or poor man's brake flush (reservoir drain/fill). I need to look more into lubing my driveshaft...
