Maintenance for 70k truck

[Omar Alvarado]

So i have a 2016 silverado 1500 5.3 ltz with 70k plus miles. The only maintenance i have done is oil change every 3 months/3000 miles. I was wondering what other maintenance do yall recommend me doing?

I would at least change out the transmission filter and fluid along with the transfer case and differentials.

 

Have you changed the cabin filter?

Change every other fluid that you haven't. Coolant is the only thing that can wait but its cheap enough to do now.

There is a page in your owner's manual for exactly this reason:

I have a 14 with 55k. Next week, I’m doing all fluids, brakes, shocks and plugs.

Do nothing, trade it in after another 70k.  Dead serious.  You'll be fine.

Maybe trade my 16 in also.

Ram is looking nice.
Tundra haven't growed on me yet.
But very reliable.

Here is the rear dif video. I watched all of his fluid changing videos yesterday and will be changing all my fluids next week. These videos are incredibly helpful if you can get past his use of pints instead of quarts.

Prior to removing the rear cover of the diff to change the fluid, you may wish to examine the bottom of the diff to see if it's got a drain plug.  I removed the rear cover of my diff, only to find that it had a drain plug that I could have used...

It is my understanding that the 1500's stopped rear diff drain plugs after 2002.  Mine has one since it is a 2002.  But they no longer have any on the 1500's.  Why they stopped?  Probably to save that .01 cent.
