#1 of 3 2006 Denali XL, what service to do at 50K, transmission? by joe_jensen Aug 25, 2009 (8:06 pm)
I want to do some extensive preventative maintenance on our Denali XL. No issues so far, 58K miles. I think I want to do the following. 1) Transmission, I have read a ton of stories on flushing being risky. I am certain I want the filter changed. The oil is not burnt, but I want the filter changed. What should this cost? 2) Transfer case, and front and rear differential flui changed. What should this cost? 3) Bleed brakes? I think this is good, what would this cost? 4) Fuel filter 5) Do I need to do anything preventative on the power steering? 6) Radiator? Should this be flushed?   Thanks

Just IMHO if you haven't changed any of the fluids yet, I would do the tranny, radiator, transfer case and rear diff and brakes. PS fluid, nah unless it's not working well or making weird noises. as far as tranny - it's super easy. Do it yourself and save money. It's almost as easy as changing the oil. The risky part is not putting in quality ATF. Make sure you get the exact fluid from the dealer not from say kragen.   transfer case and rear diff - same thing. super easy and an advisable preventative maintanence. If you do it yourself it will only cost you the cost of the fluid -   Radiator flush is a good idea too. it would run you about $90 at a repair shop. do this yourself too for about $25. Go to kragen and get the coolant and a flush solution. Just follow the directions on the back of the flush stuff.   If you don't already have one, get the haynes repair manual for your vehicle at autozone for about $25 and you can do all these basic maintenance procedures fairly easy and without much doubt in your mind how to do them. it will save you so much money in the long run.

Replying to: tybombero (Aug 26, 2009 10:01 am) Its nice to see that there are still people out there care about maintaining their vehicles, and DIY. Very Nice!   Just a friendly reminder, to get all the right gaskets/seals for your oil pan, drain/fill plugs, and dispose the old fluids properly.
