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.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Chevrolet drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Chevrolet Express 1500, 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 will I need Chevrolet Express 1500 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Express 1500?

Can my Express 1500 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 Express 1500'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 Express 1500.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Express 1500?

Does my Express 1500 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Express 1500 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 Express 1500 forward.
