My pops and I swapped trucks. He wanted my 2016 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi 80k miles, I get his2005 Dodge 2500 SLT Cummins 5.7 4x4 112k miles, and a $4k check. Drove here to Illinois to make the swap. He was trying to guilt me into it saying I’d feel bad if my 85 year old father somehow fell and broke a hip while climbing into a 2500 4x4 while knowing he wanted my truck. He bought it new when he still lived in AZ. Up until last year he towed around a backhoe he had that he used to dig holes to set septic tanks. Right around Thanksgiving last year he sold the backhoe, finally ready to really retire at 85. Since then, he has barley driven it except for the occasional trip to Menards. Three questions. I know nothing yet about Cummins 5.7 engines yet. The oil (Rotella non-synthetic) is a year old, a little less than 1000 miles on it. Should I change the oil before I head back or change it after the 1850 mile trip back...or both? Also, should i change or anticipate having to change the fuel filter on the way back? What else should i be concerned about before we take off?
