How does Chevrolet drivetrain maintenance help 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.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Chevrolet drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Chevrolet C1500, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Chevrolet C1500 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my C1500?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your C1500’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the C1500 malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your C1500's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your C1500.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my C1500?

If your C1500 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my C1500 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your C1500 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 C1500 forward.

All About 1989 Chevrolet C1500 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your C1500's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Chevrolet, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1989 Chevrolet C1500 to maintain its performance power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Chevrolet C1500 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1989 Chevrolet C1500 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Chevrolet C1500 may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Chevrolet C1500 drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 1989 Chevrolet C1500 drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
