    Hey all, First Post.

I have a 2006 3.5 L SXT with only 20,000 miles on it.  After an oil change I was told I had a transmission fluid leak, but since it was a dealer check had to take it into the dealer...well turned out to be the "guide bushing"...and they said I had another leak in my rear axle...but didn't have the parts on hand  (luckily all are covered under warranty).  I do have a couple questions though.

1) The dealer said that at 20,000 it is recommended that I get a Fuel Flush...but it is not in my book, and I know with my old 1998 Neon I could have sworn it's recommended at longer intervals.

2) The dealer also said that at 20,000 I need to flush my Rear Axle Fluid...though it is not in my book.  Also, with the part they will have to fix there is a possibility they'll have to drain and refill with new fluid anyway...

Do the above maintenance items make sense at 20,000 miles, or is the dealer just trying to get me to spend something while he's doing warranty work?  It'd cost me about 200 dollars to have both done.

Thanks!

The information they gave you isn't correct.  See this thread http://www.dodgeforum.com/m_969456/tm.htm
