So my 2018 Silverado 3500HD (6.0 Gas) is at 32k miles. It mostly gets driven around town and a few highway trips....mostly unloaded.
So far, the most I've ever pulled a 14' enclosed trailer with two garden tractors in it. 90% of the time my truck is empty. 5% of of the time there is a 800 pound garden tractor in the bed. So, for a 1-ton truck, it's living an easy life.
What do you think is the best schedule for the tranny and rear end?? I think the rear-end is due for a drain and fill. That should get rid of all the break-in debris.
But for the Tranny (6L90E), I was thinking I'd have the dealership do a complete fluid exchange in the near future. And then in around 60k miles, I'd drop the pan and change the filter. I would probably just do drain and fill's from 60-200k miles and then change the filter again at that time.
What do you think of this plan??
Lastly, what about fluids?? Would you stick with AC Delco DEXRON-VI or do you guys prefer an aftermarket fluid for the transmission and transfer case?? What about the front and rear differentials??
