1983 GMC C2500 Suburban Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • Will it hurt my GMC C2500 Suburban to drive with old spark plugs? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my C2500 Suburban? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • What do hard starts and stops do to my C2500 Suburban engine? Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.
  • Where can I get a GMC C2500 Suburban tune-up? At your local Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our technicians know how to service, maintain, and repair GMC C2500 Suburbans.

Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.
