Hello;  I am new to this forum and have a couple of questions please.   I just bought a new GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate pickup and have put a little over 500 miles on it so far.  I looked through the owners manual to see when to take it in for the first service and could find no information in the owners book.  Can anyone out there tell me when to take it in for the first oil/filter change? (Miles wise).

 

Also can anyone tell me how to "Link" my APPLE IPOD NANO to the bluetooth in the pickup so it will play my music from the ipod through the pickups sound system?  Again, nothing in the manual at all.

 

Thank you so much for your help.

You could go by your oil life monitor and change it around 7,500 mi or so or you could make your own decision to change it early, say, 1,000 miles or so. Or anywhere in between. It’s ultimately your choice. Do what you feel is best. Most of us who plan to keep our trucks change it early.

Thanks so much for the prompt reply.  The ipod nano situation also has me puzzled.

You could of course plug it in via usb cable but not sure about setting up wireless connection

You probably just have the 'essentials' paper manual.

 

You can download a pdf of the full Owners Manual  from one of the GM sites

I did my first two oil changes at 5000kms just to get any break in junk out. Didnt let my truck idle, and put a load behind it as often as i could. Even towed a skidsteer around when it wasnt needed. 
i just rolled over 40,000kms a few weeks ago and fuel economy has gotten better, even with winter diesel up here in Saskatchewan. I have a Banks idash for monitoring and regens have gone from 900kms-1000kms between regen to 1200kms - 1350kms now. 
might be a coincidence but seems like it all happened at 40,000kms. 
i also change my fuel filter at every 10,000kms regardless what the monitor says, engine oil and filter also at every 10,000kms with rotella t6 5w40. 
like anything, good maintenance yields a good truck.

iPod nano is not, as far as I remember, Bluetooth capable. Definitely not WiFi capable either.

Your only option is hardwire as Auxilary source.

    • We have now!  2027 GMC Sierra  Early look, but I'm a GMC guy and so far I think I like the looks of the Chevy better.
    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
