You want your GMC Sierra 1500 HD to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Sierra 1500 HD has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

Just follow your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 HD maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Sierra 1500 HD's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 HD problems in the future.

Bring your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 HD to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Sierra 1500 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 HD. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 GMC Sierra 1500 HD battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sierra 1500 HD stranded. Your GMC Sierra 1500 HD could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
