I'm at approximately 25,00 miles right now in my 07 Silverado. I think I'm actually at 23K-24K but it's close enough. Is there anything special that is to be serviced or looked at for the 25,000 mile servicing? Transfer case fluid, transmission fluid, etc.?

 

Had tires rotated last time so I'm good there. I know I need the regular oil change and lube. I also need to get the TSB for the sensor under the driver's seat that is suppossedly rusting out taken care of.

 

Would the service shop be able to check the ball joints while they're at it? I've noticed lately a bit of tight steering. Might just be the abnormal cold/snow we're having right now though. I am running the RC level kit though so I'd rather be safe than sorry if the service shop can check the ball joints.

GM doesn't really have any recommendations on anything until the 50k mark, outside of the regular oil changes. It is all dependent on how you drive/use the vehicle

 

 

Here are the things they suggest for routine maintenance, such as oil change etc...

 

Scheduled Maintenance

 

Change engine oil and filter. See Engine Oil on page 5-13. Reset oil life system.

See Engine Oil Life System on page 5-16. An Emission Control Service.

Lubricate chassis components. See footnote #.

Visually check for any leaks or damage. See footnote (j).

Inspect engine air cleaner filter or change indicator (if equipped). If necessary,

replace filter. See Engine Air Cleaner/Filter on page 5-17. See footnote (k).

Rotate tires and check inflation pressures and wear. See Tire Inspection and

Rotation on page 5-72 and “Tire Wear Inspection” in At Least Once a Month

on page 6-10.

Inspect brake system. See footnote (a).

Check engine coolant and windshield washer fluid levels and add fluid

as needed.

Perform any needed additional services. See Additional Required Services

on page 6-6.

Inspect suspension and steering components. See footnote (b).

Inspect engine cooling system. See footnote ©.

Inspect wiper blades. See footnote (d).

Inspect restraint system components. See footnote (e).

Lubricate body components. See footnote (f).

Check transfer case fluid level and add fluid as needed.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      Interesting pivot.

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
