Typical cost for fluid change?

Got a quote from a local tuner for 400. This includes changing oil and filter, transmission, transfer case, rear diff, and acd. Is this a good price?

ACD is a pain but I'd say thats way too much even including all fluids.

I would agree that this seems excessive. Does this include fluids or not?

Call a dealer in your area and find out.

But remember, undertray has to come off and ACD has to be done correctly or you can damage the pump.

My goodness 400 that's insane. I couldn't even imagine I never had to do an ACD flush though

Well I am just trying to do some preventative maintenance before I start modding. Do I need to have the acd fluid changed?

That sounds about right, I did my 30k service at Speed element in fremont. It included oil change, tranny fluid flush, transfer case fluid change, coolant, spark plugs, brake fluids flush, bleed acd ect...

Buy a jack + jackstand and do 'em yourself. Little daunting the first time, took me an afternoon and evening but now I'm comfortable and will be saving a few hundred bucks each time in the future

Damn, the fluids to do this were about $125 I think and it takes me an hour to do all 3...is there any reason you can't just do it yourself? Honestly it requires a socket wrench, a set of sockets, a few funnels, a set of ramps, and some plastic tubing...so figure $75 in tools.
