When it comes to your GMC Sierra 2500 HD, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Sierra 2500 HD. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Sierra 2500 HD maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 HD!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Sierra 2500 HD's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 HD problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 HD for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Sierra 2500 HD's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 HD be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Sierra 2500 HD may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 2500 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Sierra 2500 HD) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Sierra 2500 HD won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 HD running newer, longer. See GMC's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2006 Sierra 2500 HD in the chart at the top of this page.

A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 HD?
