2008 Chevrolet Avalanche Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Avalanche’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Avalanche's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Chevrolet Avalanche’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Chevrolet. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Chevrolet Avalanche transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet Avalanche, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who does Chevrolet Avalanche transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Avalanche transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Chevrolet Avalanche with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Avalanche to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
