Ok Titan brethren, I have had my Titan a little over a year now, and love it. I figure this spring would be a good time to go over the truck and tune up a few things. I have seen a few threads about changing transmission fluids, but I want to make sure I get the correct information.

Spark plugs-
Transmission fluid-
Differential fluids-

Also, on cold mornings, I notice my transmission is slow to slide into overdrive, is that common? I would imagine it would be, just making sure.

So far I have zero complaints about my titan. I have 5 more years to pay on it, and need to keep it running smooth. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You pretty much have everything down, theres no fuel filter to replace like most vehicles, just check all the fluids, serpentine belt, etc.

When the transmission is below a certain temp, it wont shift into overdrive, it lets the transmission spin at higher speeds to warm up faster. Completely normal.

I am curious what other people suggest too...

I'm assuming you've done the air filter and cabin air filters already as routine maintenance. You mention "differential" so I'm assuming you're 2wd. If that's wrong, you need to add the front diff and transfer case to the list. Depending on the age of your truck and number of miles, it might be time for a radiator flush and refill. I'd definitely do it if it's over 100k. Go through the front end and look for grease fittings (may be on the ball joints) and hit those with some quality grease if you have them. Check out your brakes (including the e-brake inside the rear rotor "hats" and consider replacing the e-brake shoes as the OEM ones are prone to delamination and cause pretty catastrophic failures if they do.

I have a 2008 Pro 4x, and it's got 119k on the clock. Are there any special additives I need to be aware of for the differentials or t-case? No, I haven't done the cabin filter yet, but it's on the list. What spark plugs does most everyone use. I was looking at NGK Iridiums. I know there may be a lot of opinions on those, I am just looking to keep it running great. I also run marvel mystery oil in every other oil change.

No special additives for the diffs. I believe the T-case uses ATF, but your owner's manual will have the correct specs. Definitely do both diffs and the T-case along with the trans.

I hear the only thing to do plug-wise is put a new set of the OEMs, which are the NGK Iridiums, I believe.

Sounds like you're on top of it.

Might I suggest pulling the boots off your coil packs and inspecting them for dry rot. In addition, I would clean them and reinstall a hefty application of dialectic grease prior to snapping them back onto the plugs.
