Definitely an easy question for you guys. I have an 03 1500 4.7, is there is
a certain mileage when I should get the transmission fluid changed?

Also about that time to get new tires, any suggestions? The GS-A's that came
with the truck only made it 45K and expensive.

Thanks

Is this an automatic or standard shift?

Depends on what you use your truck for. I tow during the summer months.
I change mine every 15,000 miles. Cheap insurance against a failure.

GS-A's IMHO are junk. Way too soft sidewalls for a heavy truck. There
are numerous good choices but I have had great luck with Michelin LTX
M/S or A/T's (not A/S which are lousy).
