Tune Into Your GMC G3500

Is your engine overdue for a tune-up? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, it could be time for a new way of doing things, especially if you drive a 1987 GMC G3500. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your G3500’s engine. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you get routine engine tune-ups based on GMC's recommendations, you can rest assured you’re investing in your G3500’s long-term engine performance.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1987 GMC G3500. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your G3500. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A For 1987 GMC G3500s

  • Will it hurt my GMC G3500 to drive with old spark plugs? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my G3500? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • Are hard starts and stops bad for my GMC G3500 engine? Hard starts and stops put extra wear and tear on engine components. Smooth, gradual starts and stops, on the other hand, are a great way to help your engine run better. They can also help maximize your fuel economy.
  • Where can I get a GMC G3500 tune-up? At the nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’re ready to help service, maintain, and repair your GMC G3500.

Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.
