[josueh95]

so its time for a maintenance on my tahoe and next weekend i plan on changing the engine oil and spark plugs..any perticular engine oils or spark plugs you guys reccomend? my tahoe is about to hit 130k its a 2000.
the tranny fluid was flushed about 500 miles ago when i got the servo installed
il also clean the throttle body and MAF sensor..i was thinking about doing a seafoam treatment but im wondaring if any neighbors might say anything because of all the smoke..but i think i will do it..any other suggestions you guys have?

Everyone will have their own opinions...but I only like to use AC Delco plugs and wires. I have tried other brands and they dont do well, or dont last near as long.

I used ac delco plugs and wires when I did mine last week. From what many members have said that's what they use. I seafoamed mine Monday and it was pretty crazy with the smoke. I had never done it before so I didn't know what to expect. How does the tranny feel with the new servo?

il look into those plugs thanks..did you notice a difference with the sea foam?
my tranny felt more firm in the shifts..not at all uncomfortable but enough to jst feel the shifts..no sliping at all

I didn't notice a difference after seafoaming it. I had done pretty much everything to get it running a lot better before my tune. Justin had told me to do it to clean the top end of the engine. He also told me to get a servo in my tranny, so that is at the top of my to do list. If you don't mind me asking, how much did they charge for install of servo?

A lot of people here will tell you to get ready to change your water pump with the mileage you have. With something like that, it's better to be proactive than reactive. You may want to consider it.

When is the last time the fluid(s) in your differentials were done? Also if your are 4X4, the transfer case as well.....

no water pump. wait till it goes or leaks if it ever does.

id rec fuel filter

for my servo here is what happened, many here have done it themselves in about an hour and honestly its not a hard job to do but my tahoe the servo cap was soo rusted out that it took forever just to get the cap off i got everything put back on and when i test drove it it wudnt shift and my tranny leaked most of the fluid..when i checked it the cap poped out..so i took it to my dads friends shop and he flushed the tranny and installed the servo with a new cap for 50 dollars..so i suggest if your not 100% conffident on doing it just get a shop to do it.

I had mine done at a local shop for basically $75 a piece when I broke down the bill...

I had my front differential, rear differential, transfer case, and trans done at the same time. It is cheap insurance rather than having to replace/repair them I didn't know when they were done(if ever) and like to have a reference point for all further maintenance.
