60k mileage service


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 2013 5.3L Silverado z71. the truck has 60k miles and wondering what needs to be replaced at this mileage. I do tow trailers every now and then, but overall I'm easy on the truck. just need to know a maintaince list like what fluids to replace. also how often should you replace the pct valve?

if it hasn't been done already, consider the following if you plan on keeping the truck a long time

Some of these might be better done at the 70/75,000 mile service

- Tranny Flush

- Front/Rear Differential, and transfer case

- Brake Fluid

- Coolant Flush

your manual should have that information ,but at 60k the transmission fluid and filter is priority  also depending on the climate you live in matters alot too being very hot or dusty conditions differential lube or brake fluid in the last post is not as important unless there's been a failure or contamination engine coolant is a good idea to change and replace thermostat too those trucks will last a long time if properly maintained so your thinking ahead

you only service fuel injectors by buying top tier fuels and adding a good fuel additive such as BG44K or Chevron Techron every now and then.

What’s the recommend schedule for using BG44? Every 10k miles? 20k?
My 2017 has 11k, but I’ve yet to add any cleaner to the fuel. I do run top tier fuel.

On my cars it says service injection unless top tier fuel is used. I showed the service writer that when they hit me up for that service.

I couldn't get the free shipping, so I have to pick up at the store.  Bought 5 of them.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
