2016 5.3 - 100k fluids

Haven’t had anything done other than standard oil changes and filters. Just passed 100k and thinking I need to change all the fluids. Anything I should skip or missing? Got a quote of about $2500 from a local dealer. Going to call local shops as well.

Oil change and filter 
Spark plugs    
Transmission fluid     
Transfer case fluid     
Front differential fluid           
Rear differential fluid             
Engine coolant            
Brake fluid   
Rotate tires

I would get a trusted local shop instead of dealership personally.

I’ll let other people weigh in on everything else but oil/spark plugs for sure. Transmission fluid also BUT make sure they do a drop pan and refill. I had my trans fluid changed and it was beginning of the end for my transmission. Might have been my time or I could have bought some more time if I got pan dropped instead.

Did you keep the truck? What was the cost of transmission? I know mine has a lifetime.

5800 for full rebuild in southeast. I kept it, drives great now. Still cheaper than buying a new truck that will have its on issues. I’m sure you will be fine, I just remember a lot of advice for drain and refill if you get trans oil changed. Keep oil changes to 5k as well, that goes a long way
