2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71

[D45]

90,000 miles is what I was told.

Looks like I'll be adding a belt to my cart

Appears to be very straightforward and an easy job

Also buying a new cabin filter and engine air filter

2 belts, main and AC is stretch to fit. If you have the the Active Fuel Management it takes another stretch to fit belt for the vacuum pump. This belt is cheap at the dealer, like $5. Takes all of 20 to 30 minutes to change all of them. Just did my wife's 2018 suburban.

Stretch belt, no tensioner.

Be very careful with the transmission, tons of problems people are having and there is a current class action lawsuit because of it. GM refusing to fix the issue.

Replaced my 6-speed at 175 thousand Mike's and am told I am one of the fortunate ones. Chevy dealer wanted 8 grand. Went mom and pop shop and got it done for 5300.

I think they're about the perfect size on these trucks...but I am a little biased

Biased...about tires...see what I did there?

(Before steel belted radials, tires in the 60's were Bias-Ply)

Cap is on and looks good. The taller bulkhead gasket was too rigid and too tall. Left a decent gap. I removed it and will see how it does with just a single layer of flat gasket material

Definitely need more internal lighting

I added a stick on handle for the inside of the front sliding window

I will install the GM bed tie down hooks today

I also have the factiry bed lighting, under the bed rails. Love it, but wish there were a switch for it in the bed, near the tailgate, right near where they put the power plugs sometimes

Those running boards definitely add to the look of it sitting lower

As does that chin strap under the front bumper. I've taken mine off but the running boards have to stay, for the little lady.

Stretch belt, no tensioner.

When did this change?

The serpentine belt has a tensioner

The stretch belt obviously not. What's the replacement interval on the stretch belt and what does it do exactly?

Stretch belts do the A/C pump and vacuum pump if so equipped, little short belts. Have the same life as serpentine belt. Pretty straight forward to change them together.

24MM crank pulley bolt?

I bought both belts this morning and the total was $30

AC Delco Gold K060714HD Heavy Duty V-Ribbed Serpentine Belt

AC Delco GM Original Equipment 12643517 Vacuum Pump Belt

Also a cabin air filter and an engine air filter

24MM crank pulley bolt?

Sounds right

And now the P0700 trans code!

GM 8 speed transmission class action.......

 

[D45]

The truck is driving fine even with the code?

I'm going to check the fluid level, reset the code, and see if it reappears
