The first time I had the oil changed and everything greased it cost me $250.00. After this I decided to figure out a way to do this myself and save some money.
I went to:
https://secure.freightliner.com/newb...d=Freightliner.
Found which one was mine, downloaded it and went to work figuring out what was where and how to do this for the very first time. It did take me awhile to do this the first time, but I got it done.
The next step is VERY Important!
Find someone who does this on a regular basis and then pay them to go back over with you and check everything. I got everything except for the:
a. Clutch Release Bearing.
b. Cross-Shaff Grease Fitting.
The person showed me where they were at let me borrow his grease gun to do this.
I haul logs for a living and drive in alot of dust, so I grease mine every three weeks, so paying someone to do this could add up quickly.
In the manual I gave you the web address to, I found a Axle Oil Filter that needed to be changed that had not been changed or mentioned needing changing.
I have found out the more questions you ask from someone that knows what they are doing the better off you will be.
I posted a question about Overhead and oil change questions on here, and got some great answers.
