Is my dealer trying to rip me off?

What is your question?

I have a 2010 Dodge Dakota Big Horn edition extended cab 4X4 pickup truck. At a recent oil change I was told I'm due for the following services: Fuel Service ($205), Brake Service($130), Transmission Service($218), P/S service [? power steering] ($140), and Drive line-F&R Tcase($295). I think they are mostly referring to fluid flush and exchange of those various components. My brake pads measured 6 mm in the front and 4 mm in the back, so I don't think they're talking about new brake pads etc. The total cost of the estimate is $988. I don't see those items listed in the service manual for my truck. Do I need those? Are those prices out of line?

IF it not listed in your OWNERS MANUAL - it is NOT REQUIRED!!

Additionally - IF you decide to have ANY non scheduled ‘stuff’ performed - contact local independent auto repair facility and make arrangements to do so. I’m sure the ‘dealer oriented viewers’ will have a different opinion - - I strongly suggest having an ‘experienced’ independent mechanic check your truck over for you.
