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
SG/CE 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 specif\
ied.
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 unl\
ess 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 i cracked, swollen, or
deteriorated. Tighten all hose clamps (except consrant tension clamps).
Remove debris and clean the outside of the radiator and air c\
onditioning
condenser. Wash the radiator neck.
To ensure proper operation, pressure
test the radiator and cap.

.
7. FRONT WHEEL BEARING REPACK (2 WHEEL DRIVE ONLY) -Clean
and repack the front wheel bearings at each brake relining,
or at the
specified interval, whichever comes first.
8.
TRANSMISSION SERVICE
Automatic Transmission
-Change the transmission fluid and filter every
15,000 miles (25 000 km) for vehicles under 8,600 GVWR or every
12,000 miles
(20 000 km) for vehicles over 8,600 GVWR if the vehicle
is mainly driven under one
or more of these conditions:
In heavy city traffic.
Where the outside temperature regularly reaches 90°F (32°C) or
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
higher.
Frequent trailer pulling.
Uses such as taxi, police, delivery or other commercial service.
If the vehicle is not used mainly under any of these conditions, change
the fluid and filter every
30,000 miles (50 000 km) for vehicles under
8600 GVWR or every
24,000 miles (40 000 km) for vehicles over 8600
GVWR. See “Automatic Transmission Fluid” in the Index for more
information.
Manual Transmission -Transmission fluid does not require periodic
changing.
9. CDRV SYSTEM INSPECTION* -Check the Crankcase Depression
Regulator Valve System
for any worn, plugged or collapsed hoses. Have

Scheduled Maintenance Services
Periodic Maintenance Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should be performed at least
twice a year (for instance each spring or fall). You should let your GM
dealer’s service department or other qualified service center
do these jobs.
Make sure any necessary repairs are completed at once.
Steering and Suspension lnspectiont -Inspect front and rear suspension
and steering system
for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of wear or
lack of lubrication. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for\
proper hook-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. (On vehicles equipped wit\
h manual
steering gear, check for seal leakage.) Lubricate the steering linkage.
Accelerator Control System -Lubricate all pivot points with engine oil,
except the
TBI throttle shaft. Remove all external deposits from the injector
pump face cam on 6.2L and 6.5L engines.
Do this when the engine is cold
and not running.
Do not oil any accelerator or cruise control cables. Replace
any cables that have high effort
or excessive wear.
Exhaust System Inspection -Inspect the complete system including the
three-way catalytic converter. Inspect the body near the exhaust system. Look
for broken, damaged, missing
or out-of-position parts, as well as, open
seams, holes, loose connections
or other conditions which could cause a heat
buildup in the
floor pan or could let exhaust fumes seep into the passenger
compartments.
Drive Axle Service -Check readfront axle fluid level and add as needed.
Check constant velocity joints and axle seals for leaking.
Transfer Case (four-wheel drive) lnspectiont -Every 12 months or at oil
change intervals, check front axle and transfer case and add l\
ubricant when
necessary. Oil the control lever pivot point and all exposed control linkage. \
Check vent hose at transfer case for kinks and proper installa\
tion. More
frequent lubrication may be required on heavy-duty
or off-road use.
tA fluid loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected
and repaired at once.
