Owner Checks And Services - Chevrolet Silverado 2007 Owner's Manual

(j) A fluid loss in any vehicle system could indicate
a problem. Have the system inspected and
repaired and the fluid level checked. Add fluid if
needed.
(k) Inspect system. Check all fuel and vapor
lines and hoses for proper hook-up, routing, and
condition. Check that the purge valve, if the vehicle
has one, works properly. Replace as needed.
(l) Extreme Duty Service: Change transfer case
fluid if the vehicle is mainly driven off-road in
four-wheel drive, or is used for heavy trailer towing.
Farming, mining, forestry, and Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) vehicles meet this
definition.
(m) During any maintenance, if a power washer is
used to clean mud and dirt from the underbody,
care should be taken to not directly spray the
transfer case output seals. High pressure water
can overcome the seals and contaminate the
transfer case fluid. Contaminated fluid will
decrease the life of the transfer case and
should be replaced.
(n) Vehicles with diesel engine or with GVWR
above 10,000 lbs (4 536 kg) only: Inspect shields
for damage or looseness. Adjust or replace as
640
required. This is a Noise Emission Control
Service. Applicable to vehicles sold in the
United States and recommended for
vehicles sold in Canada.
(p) If you drive regularly under dusty conditions,
inspect the filter or change indicator (if equipped)
at each engine oil change.
(q) Visually inspect belt for fraying, excessive
cracks, or obvious damage. Replace belt if
necessary.
