I've got a very similar 2020 Silverado, but I have the 8 speed. Here's what I do; oil change when the computer says 50% (Castrol Syntec), transmission service every year (because I plow with it), diffs and t-case fluids every 50,000km (about 30,000miles). I put about 25,000km/ year so that ends up being every other year. Spark plugs, and plug wires at 100,000km (about 62,000miles). I reviewed the manual and came up with these numbers because they're close or better, and I like nice round easy to remember numbers. LOL Yes, go with the supercharger. Wondering how the transmission will hold up to that kind of power or if you've got plans to help is survive.

Just wait until you get the Transmission Shutter. There is a TSB on it in all GM Vehicles. My Dealership tried to get "Me" to pay the money for a Triple Fluid Flush (Up to $800.00). I said "No Thanks". Went to my local GMC Dealership, they did it on the Drive Train Warranty. Then it returned and I had to have New Torque Converter and Valve Body replaced, again on the Drive Train Warranty. It is said that G.M. builds the worse Transmissions and I believe it. Shutter is in every line of vehicle with 8 and 10 speed Transmission.

I just did my rear and front differential. The rear is a reusable gasket unlike the front where it needs to be replaced. My oil was ridiculous dark. I used valvoline 75w/90 gear oil for both differential. Save me some labor time for a DIY project. Had my battery replaced, ac and serpentine belt at a local repair shop. I DIY by rear brakes.

Bought my silverado 1500hd new 2002. At 1000 miles changed all diff, xfer case and oil to get out what i call break in metal wear. Not sure why more people dont do this as those parts kick more metal off as they first mesh together. Then went recommended service intervals. My rear diff has drain plug so never removed cover. At 230k with no issues. Want to get trail boss but not sure they make a reliable truck anymore. May get TB with baby diesel for my final truck.

E-check looks at emissions stuff and start/stop and AFM are emissions stuff. Worked on mine. I did E-check a few days ago and it failed so I reinabled that stuff and went back today and it passed.

So glad you covered it, TOP TIER is not the same as FUEL GRADE
@Average_D
@Average_D 20 күн бұрын
I did a whole science test on fuel. Here’s what I’ve learned….top tier fuel is just a way of certifying that every grade of octane has the same deterrents and lubricants across the board. Gone are the days of higher grades having better additives. I only run higher octane when the manufacturers call for it, otherwise it’s just money wasted and has no added benefit in the vehicle. Doesn’t hurt but doesn’t help either. The 5.3 calls for 87 so I run 87 but always from a top tier gas station. It’s a common practice for people to run premium in everything even when it’s not needed but, in reality it does nothing except for burn more of a whole in your pocket. I run fuel system additives every oil change at approximately 5,000 miles due to the ethanol content. Everything runs top notch.

I didn't do my 08 GMC 1500 (TX edition) with the limited slip. The carrier bearings were trash at 120. Pretty sure that was lack of maintenance. However, Just did the rear axle seals and brakes on the 08 at 285K. Looked good and no issues. Went with Mobile one (with limited slip) fluid and OEM gasket. Axle bearings actually looked good. Never did anything to my 96. Sold it with 185 on the clock. My 08 has the 3+OD 4L60E that goes back to the 90s. Not good gas mileage, but still on the OEM fluid. Talking to a trans shop owner and several mechanics I asked if I should service. The question was "when was the last time you did it" I said " I haven't". They said "Don't touch it". I asked why and they said clutch material in the fluid is likely keeping it going. On the good side I'd see 350K. Anything above that is borrowed time. They indicated it will likely have shorted life, but should see over 300K which is coming up, so just run it till it breaks. Its towed a bit, but not heavy much. I'm shooting for 350 and due to having payments on my wifes daily and me not commuting. Will likely just tow it home and buy a new trans. My FIL is ASE certified so he said he'd help replace it and give me his trans jack. So, that is likely to happen in the next couple of years. A remanned trans is 1800 bucks from Summit. If I ever get a 10 speed defiantly doing the trans services at the dealer as its smart money. I told myself if that truck sees 250 with me it will likely see 500K. That is where I'm headed, but 14 (maybe 15) mpg on the highway kind of sucks. It gets around 13 on mixed. I might end up with a Transit or sprinter and a small SUV beater though (nice to haul and keep dirt bikes locked up).

I miss my trail boss. It's been in the shop for three weeks. The transmission started making noise, so I brought it in to get it checked at my local Chevy dealership. I believe they said it's my clutch plate hitting the torque converter but I'm not 100% sure. The part I'd back order so it's gonna be a while to get it fix. Specifically I live in maui hawaii. They did provide me with a rental and my warranty is covering the cost of the truck and my rental. This happened 2months before my warranty expires. I love the truck but this is the second time I had to bring it in. Now I'm thinking of trading it in because of all the problems I been having with this truck. I have a 2008 tacoma that I built for overlanding off roading and it never gave this much problems. I bought my trail boss because of my taco is too small for my growing kids.

I personally drop the pan, and remove filter, fluid transfer pump all transmission fluid out of the pan while still in between exhaust and transmission, brake cleaner all over some microfiber rags of which I throw away and put in the new filter, then clean rags to absorb anything left over. Make sure not to get caught on anything in there. Gentle gentle, all without dropping pan completly. The new gasket is a bit of a pain but again not as bad as o2 sensors and dropping the exhaust. The exhaust bolts never want to come out and the exhaust gasket usually need to be replaced if you do. I am moving to true dual exhaust soon and will be routing that sencod pipe around the transmission pan.

When you install your two-post lift do yourself a favor and throw the 3/4 wedge anchors that come with it away. Grab a couple tubes of Dewalt AC100 Gold two part epoxy, some 5/8 galvanized threaded rod with washers/nuts. Drill your holes, blow them out and then use an old damp rag/t shirt on a drill bit to help wash out the hole. Fill the hole with the epoxy (do not get it anywhere you dont want it), lather some on the threaded rod as well. You have less than 90 seconds per to get it done....probably less in texas. I fought with the 3/4 wedge anchors and they just kept spinning. I feel safer with a single threaded rod epoxied in than i would with all 10 of the holes with wedge anchors.

Couple of things, you should put a STRUT on the bottom of the door, otherwise it will begin sag over time when the door is open. Secondly, did you not have to have inspections on the garage as you completed certain things, ie, slab, framing, roofing, etc.? I would think if this were done, you may have avoided some of the delays on the electrical plan. But I know every city/county is a bit different. Keep the videos coming, cannot wait to see the finished building.

This is why I always loved my Tundras well at least up until they change them LOL.. I have a 2015 Tundra and my rear diff front diff and transfer case all have drain plugs and of course fill plugs makes it so much easier to change these fluids and I change mine once a year regardless of miles. Why Chevy does not use ones with drain plugs is beyond me how hard is it to put in drain plugs when manufacturing the rear diff, front diff, and transfer case

I ended up on your page from looking to move to Hawaii from North Fort Worth sooner or later, been in Texas for too long. I just watched this and I have a 2018 silverado LT Texas edition 5.3 with around 55K miles to date. I always took my truck to get service at the dealer while the drivetrain is under warranty and just when I was thinking to take my truck in for service the transmission when I was closing in on 50K my 1st and 2nd gear had a nasty grind noise and i took it in just in time to stay under warranty cost me nothing. Now watching this video I might have to look into changing out the differential fluid.

Is it 2.6 qts for front and rear, or is it 2.6 for each?

Techron fuel treatment. Very clean intake runners when I removed the intake at 100k to replace a pcv valve.

I thought it was 50-60,000 if you were frequently towing or have bigger rims and tires otherwise 75-80,000 should be a good time to change. I think 90-100,000 is recommended by gm which seems like some "at your own risk", if your willing to wait that long type shit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wish I found your channel years ago... dealer told me I didnt need to do these things and ended up costing me close to 7k in new transmission cost. We are doing the differential work immediately, hopefully it is ok. Guess that is how GM sells more vehicles now, hide the needed maintenance. Used to be planned obsolescence, now it is tricked into obsolescence.

First thing is to make sure on the rear differential that the fill bolt can be removed. That's a must!!!

They still don't have a diff drain bolt in the gen 4s? Guessing the transmission also doesn't have a drain bolt either You really only have to worry about e85 if your truck sits for months. I've used nothing but e85 since I bought my 2011 and it's been just fine filling up about once a month as it isn't the daily. I'll take the hp and torque bump with a cheaper fill-up.

There is no owner manual in my 2024 ZR2 . Chevy asks you to download it. The paper manual is going the way of the dinosaur.

Stick to the maintenance schedule in the owners manual. Dealerships often try to up sell you or accelerate your schedule.

Seems like if you wanted to SC it, you would have gone 6.2L from the get go. If that is the route maybe teasing up to a 6.2L TB/ZR2 is in order. Hope the garage holds up to the crazy weather!

I have the 2022 ZR2, put 45k miles on it so far, gonna do the diffs and trans real real soon, super topical video lol I did the DirtKing UCA's the new yellow ones are pretty amazing, but since you like that light blue you might want to go with Peak Suspension UCA's but only because of the color lmao
