My truck is just turning 20 year. Sounds like my high idle is stuck. What should I do?
I change my oil every 3000 miles. Have for my 20 year old Chevy. I now have 112,000 miles. Transmission fluid has been changed 3 times. It’s the rust that’s killing my truck. Issue with disconnecting the battery. Issues with the truck regulating your driving habits. Resetting s a bitch.
My transmission actually has a cap and a dipstick on it
I don't drive my Acadia unless I have to
If I only drive about 3k miles per year should I change the oil once a year? Even though it’s not close to 5k miles/year? I only drive around town nothing round. This is my first GMC coming from Honda.

I have the 2.7 liter in my Chevy 1500 Silverado, I tow a 30 ft travel trailer. I'm a retired mechanic and most of these items I can verify are good advice. I've made the swap from the watery goodness gm puts in engines now days to the 5w 30 synthetic and replaced the air filter with a high quality K&N air filter and received a 1.5 mpg gain while towing. That doesn't sound like much, but I average 5000 miles a year towing and at today's prices for gas it adds up. Also the 5000 mile service interval is no joke. It's the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy. My truck came due while we were on a road trip, dropped the trailer at a rv park and had it done at a local shop. It takes very little time and gives you the peace of mind to tow into the middle of nowhere. Also since the 2.7 is turbo charged it becomes even more critical that the oil changes happen on time. Turbo bearings DO NOT LIKE DIRT!!!$$$$.
I have 05 gmc 4×4 4-door with 75000 on it, looks like new for sale wife has hard time getting in,we are old
Wow. Thank you cucks. Replace my DEF system then??? I have to replace this crap again because I can’t afford to delete it.
We use Amsoil Signature Series motor oil and automatic transmission fluid. Amsoil premixed antifreeze. Amsoil transfer and rear differential fluid. Chevron’s best 100% motor oil is another excellent motor oil. Change fuel and air filters.
I watch a lot of these videos from this channel I stopped it short. I knew all of this when I was 16 years old this is common sense not game changer information.
Where on earth do you get these prices. I can tell you nothing you get done on a car anymore is as low as $200. Every time I go into a shop anymore it’s $1500 $2000 for this for that so these prices that you are quoting, here are really lowballingwhat they actually are just way off base
If you have a 2008 to 2013 you need to get the new valve cover update to change the PCV valve cost me $65 and the problem was causing the dealership wanted to charge me 3000 to fix it
6.0 liter gm engine. The AC belt is separate.
My 2013 Sierra is falling apart before 100,000 mile lifter problems, $10,000 job.
$1,200 timing chain replacement cost? that's hilarious try 5-6K! I just had it done on my Acadia
Im a gm guy. Used to change transmission fluid and filter every 75-80,000 miles. But guess what GM designed vehicles that a backyard mechanic didn't want to tackle. 2004 and older no problem. Now 2015 gmc sierra 1500 5.3 , now to change transmission fluid, and filter, drop the exhaust system, and jack up the 4×4 Transfer case , just to be able to get the transmission pan off.! GM designer's total Dumbass's . But yet, it wasn't the transmission oil going bad. It was GM itself that said we can save $1 if we put an inferior Torque converter in. When it fails prematurely, we can charge $5-6000 for a new transmission. Been there, if they would have put the converter from the 6.0L engine. Guess what. No more transmission fails.! I've changed front wheel bearings twice myself, changed rear axle fluid, front axle fluid, transfer case fluid, u-joints on driveshaft, all myself. A/c condenser, rear axle seals, from local reputable repsir shop. I currently have 261,000 miles on my truck. Have absolutely NO DESIRE to purchase a new truck. Too much technology and too much that can go wrong.
Thank you for this information. I have a 2024 GMC Denali, XL and it’s a 2 Wheel Dr. so I wouldn’t need the front different ritual fluid change or the transfer case fluid change, right?
The 5.3L 07-14 doesn't have a replaceable PCV valve, it is glued into the driver side valve cover. It is also not a traditional PCV valve it is just a calibrated hole. No spring and no moving pintle.
2004 and later LS1/LS6/LS2 do not have PCV valves instead they a fixed 2.5 mm orifice in a fitting that resembles a PCV valve but has no internal parts. Nothing to replace.
No maintenance is going to stop horrible engineering and the use of the cheapest parts possible.
