Can Chevrolet drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Chevrolet drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Chevrolet Blazer, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Chevrolet Blazer differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Blazer?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Blazer can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can my Blazer malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Blazer?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Blazer should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Blazer drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Blazer includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Blazer forward.

All About 2001 Chevrolet Blazer Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Blazer's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Blazer and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2001 Chevrolet Blazer to maintain its performance power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Chevrolet Blazer Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2001 Chevrolet Blazer drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Blazer might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Chevrolet Blazer doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2001 Chevrolet Blazer drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends!
