First snowmobile ride of the winter
Today I gave my sled a once over and fired it up after 9 months of sitting. I took it up the canyon for a ride in the fresh snow and offer some thoughts on riding snowmobiles and staying out of trouble.

    Change or service trans way more often. Like every 45k no longer than 65k. Trans last long time considering lack of maint. Torque converter is weak point on original trans.

    A bad wheel bearing will cause the tire to wear like that most generally the inside part of your tire. That’s what it looks like to me if it was wheel alignment issues both tire’s would be worn

    Good maintenance is a testament of a long lasting truck. My 03 motor was having ticking issues. Found worn out cam bearings. I bit the bullet at 285 miles and motor rebuilt. Im at 387k now, my transmission is starting to shift rough. I know its time to rebuild it. 2 weeks ago, my rear differential failed. Now im rebuilding the rear differential at $650.00 in total parts. But im going to keep it and continue driving it. I enjoy it. God bless

    • @westernsoutherner1

I had some rattling in transfer case and I took it to the shop- the guy actually brought it from me and I still see it around from time to time. It was a Z71 with all the bells and whistles.

    Great video. Honestly, plugs and wires will go 100 even 150k easy. Not bad to do them but just food for thought. Impressive you got to 228 on the original trans. My 2005 is at 251K now but I've thrown everything at it. New motor, trans, rear end, u joints, whole front end rebuild, I painted it....lots of stuff. Granted, I also live in the Northeast, did a TON of towing with it, including a 6500lb camper...and just really worked it right up to what it was designed for over the years. It really owes me nothing, but I did finally have to upgrade to an HD truck for my uses. Now it's a grocery getter/ local hauler and it's awesome for that.

      @westernsoutherner1 Heck yea man. I looked after I made that comment. My cost/mile is like 15 cents...however I did the motor at 222k so I would need more miles to get that average back to where it "should" be. Plus the trans is still farily new and whatnot as well.

    Hello Westerner, I have a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado with a 4.8 L V8 that I have put over 351,000 miles on. I like you have change oil every 3 to 4000 miles using Castro synthetic oil in a 10/30 weight.Very good luck with my Truck never once have I had to do any transmission work nor engine work to speak of Very good luck with my Truck never once have I had to do any transmission work nor engine work to speak of. I did have to have the rear main seal repaired. I’ve only replaced the spark plugs two times brakes two times and do regular maintenance on the truck. I’ve had very very good luck with this truck and that 4.8 L is bulletproof, which is a testament of the miles that I have gotten out of this truck. Good luck to you this next hunting season and hopefully you draw some good tags there In your state of Idaho.

    The problem is not the transmission. It's the torque converter shits through your transmission! If your 12-19 sierra/Silverado has less than 80k miles and you don't feel shuttering or slipping. I suggest you upgrade the torque converter and replace the thermostat knuckle to avoid shuttering and transmission rebuild/replace!
