Hey guys,

this is my first post on the forum, still trying to familiarize myself with the site. So, I have a 02 chevy silverado Ext cab LT V8 5.3 liter with 52000 miles on it and was wondering what maintenance i should have done to it. this past summer i purchased it and it had 40000 miles on it but i did some hauling with it. What r ur guys thoughts. thanks everyone

If you weren't provided proof that they were done a good start would be changing all the drive train fluids. Tranny fluid and filter, rear end and if it's a 4x4 front dif and tranfer case.

Enjoy the truck!

What he said!

Consider switching to a synthetic motor oil (Mobil-1, etc.) at the next oil change. Switch out the air filter, too.

Have the radiator flushed out and be sure that the correct coolant type is used. Some GM vehicles (such as my '04 Silverado) call for Dexcool.

52,000 miles on a truck that is eleven years old is not very much. Was it owned by one person all that time?

thermostat is one to change with rad fluid
good choice on the truck though, they last forever

Yea, i'm the secomd owner. The guy i bought it from never drove it, but kept it clean, I actually had it undercoated and put some paint protector on it bc it was so clean when i bought it.
