Footnotes
† = The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to
the completion of the vehicle’s useful life. We, however,
urge that all recommended maintenance services be
performed at the indicated intervals and the
maintenance be recorded.
(1)= If your vehicle has an Allison Transmission
®, your
GM owner manual is supplemented by an Allison
Transmission
®Operator’s Manual. Always refer to these
manuals for related maintenance services.
(2)= An Emission Control Service.
(3)= A Noise Emission Control Device.
(4)= Applies to vehicles sold in the United States and is
recommended for vehicles sold in Canada.(5)= Check fluid level in brake master cylinder, power
steering pump, axle, transmission, and hydraulic
spring parking brake pump (if equipped). A low fluid
level in the brake master cylinder can indicate
worn brake linings and should be checked accordingly.
(6)= Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect
disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface
condition. Inspect caliper assemblies. Check brake
pedal for excessive free play or travel (or every
6 months, whichever occurs first) and have serviced if
needed. Check brakes more often if driving habits
and conditions result in frequent braking.
(7)= This vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System. This
system will show you when to change the engine oil
and filter — usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
12,000 miles (20 000 km) since your last oil change.
Under severe conditions, the indicator may come
on before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your
7.8L diesel engine vehicle more than 12,000 miles
(20 000 km), or 12 months, or 600 engine hours, without
an oil and filter change.

(11)= Chassis Lubrication Service: Lubricate all grease
fittings in front suspension, front axle, and steering
linkage. DO NOT lubricate kingpin bushings with
air pressure equipment; instead, use a hand grease gun
to ensure complete purge and eliminate sealer cap
distortion. Front axle tie rod ends, both upper and lower
kingpin fittings, and both steering linkage relay rod
ends should be greased with the vehicle loaded on the
ground and wheels turned straight ahead, NOT with
the vehicle on a hoist. Apply kingpin bushing lubricant to
both upper and lower kingpin grease fittings until new
lubricant purges from between the upper shim pack and
thrust bearing. Lubricate transmission and shift
linkage, hood latches and hood hinges, parking brake
lever pivot, clevis pins and linkage, disc brake caliper
rails, clutch linkage and release bearing (if equipped),
bearing pads, propshaft universal joints, brake camshaft
bracket, slack adjusters, pedal shaft, clutch cross
shaft, clutch pedal springs, and clutch cable bushing at
transmission. Lubricate suspension, axle, and steering
linkage more often when operating under dusty or
muddy conditions and in excessive off-road use.
Frequently power-washed vehicles will require more
frequent lubrication.(12)= Check steering system:
•Look for damaged, loose, or missing parts. Inspect
the steering linkage relay rod and tie rod ends for
looseness or lack of lubricant. Also look for
parts showing signs of wear or lack of lubrication.
Replace parts as needed. Also check steering gear
mounting bolts, pitman arm nut, gear housing
upper cover and side cover attaching bolts, steering
column mounting bolts and cardan joint clamp
bolts; tighten if necessary. See the service manual.
•Inspect power steering hoses, tubes, and fittings for
leaks. Hoses and lines must not be twisted, kinked,
or tightly bent. Make sure clips, clamps, supporting
tubes, and hoses are in place and properly
secured.
•Check steering gear for leakage around pitman
shaft and housing. If leakage is evident (lubricant
oozing out, not just oily film), leak should be
corrected immediately.
(13)= Check front and rear suspension. Look for
damaged, loose, or missing parts or parts showing signs
of wear or lack of lubrication. Replace parts as
needed.
