2006 2500hd Ext Cab Short Bed 4x4

[larryhorne]

Bought a 2006 2500 HD Ext Cab Short Bed in very good shape. It has the 6.0L, Auto Trans with 4.10 gears. It has 100,000 + miles on the clock. Someone drove it allot but seems to be all highway miles.

 

It was a leased truck and both exterior and interior is in great shape. Its a basic work truck that I am using to tow a 8000 lb boat.

 

I have changed the oil and filter, full syn and K&N 10 mic filter, lubed the front end, checked the brake pads, changed the spark plugs, installed tool box and rod holder. Had LINEX installed and windows tinted very dark.

 

What next? Trans fluid and filter change? Shocks?

 

The truck seems to have been well maintained but I need to know what to do next. The rotors seem to be warped, not sure if front or rear so I plan to true them up. Exshaust is fine. The tires are good, Michelen LTX but when they need replacing the rims go! Steel 16".

 

Truck seems to need leveling, can the TB's be adjusted to raise the front end an inch or two?

 

What would you do next?

If you want to do all the recommended service (do it right), get a GM factory service manual set (order from dealer) and this will list all the things to check/service for specific mileage intervals.

I would say change the trans. fluid and filter,and the coolant,thermostat,and hoses.

Wouldn't hurt to change the fluids in the axles and transfer case also.
