2004 GMC Sierra 3500 Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your GMC Sierra 3500 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Sierra 3500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Sierra 3500 maintenance. Just follow your 2004 GMC Sierra 3500 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Sierra 3500 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2004 GMC Sierra 3500 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 GMC Sierra 3500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 Sierra 3500. 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.

Could your 2004 GMC Sierra 3500 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). 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Sierra 3500 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 3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Sierra 3500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
