Tranny flush
My 2001 C5 Base with 85000 miles, was suggested by GM dealer that a transmission flush would be OK. Have no issues with Tranny but feel that maintenance is important at 85000. Will Be done by GM if I decide, please advise.

GM recommends changing the fluid and filter at 100,000 miles. It certainly wouldn't hurt to do it at 85,000 since your car is 13-14 year old depending on the in service date. If it was my car I would do it.
Some manufacturers want it done every 30k. With the switch to synthetic fluids, the 30k service is going away

Such an important part of the car. I would have it serviced. Not that expensive when you think about it that way. The diff as well. I picked up my 99 with 58k miles. Those were two of the first things I did. Just a good way to inspect the vehicle too. If the fluid comes out good, great. If it smells burnt or has metal shavings, you can anticipate a problem and maybe stop it before it happens.
