Will it hurt my GMC K2500 to drive with old spark plugs?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on GMC’s recommendations.

What does a puddle underneath my GMC K2500 mean?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your GMC K2500. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.

Are some driving habits better for my GMC K2500 engine than others?

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.

Tune Into Your GMC K2500

Is it time for an engine tune-up? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, now is the time to work on that habit, particularly if you want to keep your 1986 GMC K2500 in tip-top shape. Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your K2500’s power on the road. Tune-ups give your engine a boost in efficiency, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy.

Engine Tune-Up for GMC K2500

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to GMC K2500 engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your K2500. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your K2500's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your K2500: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. A one-size-fits-all engine tune-up procedure doesn’t necessarily exist. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.
