Besides the owner's manual, anyone have or have a link to a good maintenance schedule (this is for his Silverado that sees some plow duties for his loooong driveway in the U.P., not a raced car). My Dad asked me, which is weird, because I use the one he gave me years ago.

I use my truck as a primary driver and tow vehicle. I stick with what the owners manual says except:
Trans flush: 3 years or 36k PS fuild: 5 years or 50k Diff fluid: 100k brake fluid: Every time I change the pads/ shoes Seems like no one ever changes the PS fluid or trans fluid enough for trucks that actaully do work. |

Yea, the GM maintenance intervals are surprisingly long!
I was actually wondering the same thing about my wife's Avalanche... Its doesn't do much real "work" though.. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I was thinking about the 50k/5 year mark to get all the fluids and oils changed out, new brake pads, and check the belts and hoses and probably get new tires by then too, if not a little sooner.. ? |
