well am new to duramax and i pick up a 03 silverado crew cab with 220000 miles.. it runs good just wondering wat should i do to it like engine wise for it so it could last me awhile any info will work thanks
The only thing you really have to do is keep the oil, oil filter, tranny spin on filter and oil, and fuel filter changed at proper intervals. There really is no major maintance items to do at any certain mileage.
I like to change my oil and filter at 10000 miles, tranny oil and spin on at 20000 miles and the fuel filter every 7000-10000 miles.
Any gm dealer should be able to run your vin to see what warranty items have been worked on. If you are wanting a history of owners and accidents i suggest using carfax.

For the tranny filter get the acually allison brand filter. and yes it is the one under the tranny, the little red one. I run amsoil sythetic in the engine and tranny, but the tranny calls for dextron IV.

would 15w 30 be fine in amsoil and where can i get that i dont think i seen it at autozone.... and when you say engine and tranny your talking bout motor oil in the tranny.. am sorry for all these dumb questions am new just trying to keep my truck healthy
I should have clearified that a little better. I run the Amsoil 15w-40 Diesel and marin oil in the engine and the amsiol synthetic ATF fluid in the tranny. The engine takes 10 qts and the tranny will take 7.7 for the fluid in the pan and spin on.
