BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 AUTOMOBILES
Power Brake Units -> Delco Brake Booster -> General Service
Vehicle: 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 LS 8.1 V8 GAS

More seals and valves are used with power brake systems than with ordinary brakes, so an inferior brake fluid will do much more damage. For the same reason, ensure all dirt is kept out of the system. Additionally, on models with hydraulic assist brakes, care must be taken not to mix the fluids of the booster hydraulic system and brake hydraulic system as the fluids are not compatible.
If the power unit fails, the brak...

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROCEDURES FOR 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 AUTOMOBILES
Description
Vehicle: 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 LT 6.0 V8 GAS
The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) notifies the driver when a significant loss of tire pressure occurs in any of the 4 tires.
When the vehicle is stationary, the sensor is inactive. When the vehicle is operated and as the vehicle speed increases, centrifugal force activates the sensors internal accelerometer causing the sensors to go into rolling mode. In the rolling mode, the sensors read tire pressure once every 30 second and transmit the reading once every 60 seconds. On models with convince package, the PDM (Passenger Door Module), receives and translates the data transmit...
