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.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
