You want your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Silverado 2500 HD. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Silverado 2500 HD maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Silverado 2500 HD. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Silverado 2500 HD may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Silverado 2500 HD) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD's engine run smoother. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 2004 Silverado 2500 HD, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.

We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD? You know your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving.
