Scheduled Maintenance Services
Scheduled Maintenance Services
This part tells you the maintenance services that you should h\
ave done and
the times you should schedule them. Your GM dealer knows your vehicle best
and wants you
to be happy with it. If you go to your dealer for your service
needs, you’ll know that GM-trained and supported service peop\
le will perform
the work using genuine GM parts.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within the recommended limits. You will find
these limits on your vehicle’s Certification Label. See “L\
oading Your
Vehicle” in the Index.
are driven on regular road surfaces, and within legal driving \
limits.
are driven off-road in the recommended manner. See the Index U\
nder
use the recommended fuel. See “Fuel” in the Index.
“Off Road Driving With Your Four Wheel Drive Vehicle.”
selecting The Proper Maintenance Services
To find the proper maintenance schedule for your vehicle, you must\
know two
things. What engine your vehicle has, and how you use your ve\
hicle. Your
engine type will tell you which chart to use, and your drivin\
g conditions will
tell you which schedule to use. The charts are found later in\
this section.
Selecting the Proper Maintenance Chart
Your engine type (Gasoline or Diesel) and its emissions classificat\
ion (Light
Duty 3r Heavy Duty Emissions) will tell you which maintenance \
chart
to use.
Find your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and look at th\
e eighth character
to see what your engine code is. Then use the following Engine E\
missions
Classifications table
to find your emissions classification.
Your VIN is on the plate on the top left corner of your instrument panel,
the Certification Label and on the Service Parts Identification \
Label. See “Vehicle Identification Number” in the Index.
If your engine has more than one emissions classification, look at\
your
Certification Label to see what your Gross Vehicle Weight Ratin\
g
(GVWR)
is. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.

Scheduled Maintenance Services
Explanation Of Scheduled Maintenance Services
Below are explanations of the services listed in the maintenance charts.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in this section. Make sure
whoever services your vehicle uses these. All parts should be \
replaced and
all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the ve\
hicle.
1.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE* -ALWAYS USE SG OR
SGKE QUALITY, ENERGY CONSERVING II OILS OF THE PROPER
VISCOSITY. To determine the preferred viscosity oil for your vehicle’s
engine (e.g. SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30), see “Engine Oil” in the Index.
2. CHASSIS LUBRICATION -Lubricate the front suspension, king pin
bushings, steering linkage, transmission, and transfer case shift\
linkage,
parking brake cable guides, propshaft splines (2 wheel drive), brake
pedal springs, and clutch pedal springs at the intervals specified.
If you have a 3500 HD, lubricate the king pins and king pin bushings
every 1,500 miles
(2500 km) for Maintenance Schedule 1, or every 3,000
(5000 km) for Maintenance Schedule 2.
Ball joints and king pin bushings should not be lubricated unless their
temperature is
10°F (-12”C), or higher. When the weather is cold, let
them warm up before lubrication or they could be damaged.
Also, be sure to check
all the vehicle fluid levels at this time.
3.
CLUTCH FORK BALL STUD LUBRICATION -Lubricate the clutch fork
ball stud through the fitting on the clutch housing. Lubricant must be
added “sparingly” to the fitting, as only.
0066 Ib. (.003 kg) is required to
lubricate the ball stud surface.
Do not add lubricant more often than the
intervals in the Maintenance Charts.
Too much lubricant will damage
the clutch assembly.
4. ENGINE IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT (DIESEL ENGINES)* -Adjust to
the specifications shown on the underhood label. You must use
calibrated test equipment.
5. COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE* -Drain, flush and refill system with new
coolant. See “Engine Coolant’’ in the Index for the proper coolant and
mixture to use in your vehicle.
Also inspect the hoses and replace them
if they are cracked, swollen, or
deteriorated. Tighten all hose clamps (except constant tension \
clamps).
Remove debris and clean the outside
of the radiator and air conditioning
condenser. Wash the radiator neck.
To ensure proper operation, pressure
test the radiator and cap.
