What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1996 Chevrolet Express 2500

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Express 2500's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Chevrolet, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Express 2500 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1996 Chevrolet Express 2500, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Chevrolet's recommendations.

Your Chevrolet could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. 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." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages.
