1984 GMC G2500 Maintenance

You want your GMC G2500 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your G2500. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your G2500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1984 GMC G2500!

GMC knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your G2500 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1984 GMC G2500 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1984 GMC G2500 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your G2500. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1984 GMC G2500. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your G2500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your GMC G2500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 G2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC G2500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1984 GMC G2500 engine. See GMC's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1984 G2500 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
