Well, my truck is passed due for its 100,000 mile tune up. I havent checked the owners manual as of yet but I was wondering what all do you guys do for a tune up? I figure plugs (not sure on the brand yet maybe oem), belt, diff, trans, and t-case oils. Which brands and weights are recomended? I'm planning on taking her up to the dunes for the first time and I figure i should change the fluids and tune her up before doing so. How much money am I looking at here?

Power steering fluid

 

125k I've done plugs and wires, cleaned MAF and throttle body and changed PS fluid so far. Trans filter and fluid, transfer case fluid, front and rear diff fluid, serpentine and A/C belt all sitting on the bench and should be done within the next week or so as time and weather allows. Did the brakes a couple years ago but will probably flush the brake fluid as well since I'm towing the camper around quite a bit.

Better plan on plug wires too. By now they've probably melted onto the spark plugs, which have probably melted into the cylinder so anticipate breaking the spark plugs in trying to get them out. Don't forget the blinker fluid.

Did plugs and wires on my truck at 120k, boots were not stuck on the plugs and plugs came right out of the motor no problem. Checked the gap on the old plugs and all were still at the same spec as the new iridium AC Delco's I put in. Almost screwed 'em back in, amazing plugs. Make sure to lube the inside of the boots with the dielectric grease. I put a dab of never-seize on the new plugs for piece of mind, have heard of threads in aluminum heads being ruined by stuck plugs.

oil filter change, also clean your TB. top end cleaner, injector clean, Sea Foam works real well. if you do the Sea Foam thru the break booster line, do that first a day before the tune up/oil change

 

good luck

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      The LCA bolts are NOT a one time use fastener.  GM does not have them called out as such at all.   They are torque plus degree, but not a one time use TTY.  Nowhere in the service manual does it call out for replacing the LCA bolts for being one time use.  The factory spec would apply to the Moog bolts as well.    I see two things different.  The Moog bolts are greaseable (which I see no point in) and they don't have one of the washers welded to the bolt like the factory bolts, so they can be used in all 4 positions.      Think about it.  The LCA bolts are now the alignment adjustment point, instead of the UCA bolts like the prior generation.  A bolt that is meant to be adjusted for alignment...would it make sense to make it a one time use component?  How would you get an alignment done in the first place?  You couldn't.       Also.  What TSB exactly?  There is no TSB that I see for 2019-2026 for over-torquing LCA bolts.  There was a PI, PIT5533C, but that covered 2014-2018 body trucks for re-torquing LCA mounting bolts.  But those trucks to a 2019-2026?  Not the same, so PIT5533C does not apply.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      By rav3 · Posted

      You didn't say what year it is. I have a '17 5.3 6l80e & used the Range AFM delete for a while to stay in V8 mode. Then I got a local tuner to preform a HPTune on my 6l80e & love it. He did a AFM delete, torque matching between engine & transmission, removed converter slip and mild engine tune that helps the transmission. Gears shift better, at specific speeds, no hunting for gear, no 2 gear down shifts, no spark plug miss feel. Drives like a different truck. I highly recommend it.

      2018 Slverado LTZ failing driver's side engine mount

      By mysery1 · Posted

      I know this old thread but I just replaced the left side engine mount on my 2018 5.3 2wd and it was a pain. A quick search showed that it was probably going to cost around $600 to $900 to get it replaced. I researched how to replace it and decided to do it myself being that I'm retired and have the time and tools. What should have taken a day took me 4 days plus a couple trips to my chiropractor and some blood. Why a mount failed at 150k miles is beyond me but such is life.   Peace
