Replying to: bustedknuckl2 (Nov 27, 2007 4:10 pm) I've had my 2500 HD CC 4x4 duramax for a couple of months and also pull my 5,000 lb cargo trailer. I've been averaging around 13 MPG highway/town. I here others on here with much better MPG reports but haven't seen it in mine. I'm sure it makes a difference of how each person drives? Can't beat the performance and power though no matter what the mileage.
#10 of 14 1500 crew cab rear end grease/oil by banshee409 Dec 03, 2008 (5:46 pm)
1. Does a 1500 limited slip rear end require an additive when changing out? 2. Is it ok to run dextron III in the 4 wheel drive transfer case? Replies to this message: obyone (Dec 03, 2008 8:20 pm) banshee409 (Dec 07, 2008 4:55 am) obyone (Dec 07, 2008 1:24 pm)

Replying to: obyone (Dec 03, 2008 8:20 pm) I have a 2004 Chevy. The owners manual doesn't say anything about rear end additive and when I called a dealer, the lady that was in service sounded like she only knew what the manual had in it.   How abou the Dextron III in the transfer case? This is what a parts house recomended.   Thanks Replies to this message: obyone (Dec 07, 2008 1:24 pm)

Replying to: banshee409 (Dec 07, 2008 4:55 am) The additive was discontinued in 2003 if I'm not mistaken. Dextron III is what is recommended for the transfer case.   If you look under the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, it should provide the recommended maintenance items based on mileage/date. When it's time to replace the dextron III in the transfer case there should be a page next or before that tells you what to use when replacing the transfer case fluid.

Replying to: itishertruck (Aug 29, 2007 6:22 am) Chevrolet Silverado all the way!! Much better built truck bar none. Fully boxed hydoformed frame, solid powertrain, best interior, best ride, the list goes on and on.... Toyota's Tundra is cheaply built and does not have anything on the Silverado. Check out "Bed Bounce" on YouTube. The Tundra practically bends in half at the cab/bed line and twists back and forth. A must view if you are considering the Tundra. This video will definitely change your mind. It's a video Ford put together, but I think the Chevy Silverado performed even better than the Ford. Chevrolet has the experience and know how under their belt, 90+ years, Toyota maybe 15.
