What happens if I "ride" my Chevrolet's brakes?

Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.

How much can my Chevrolet tow?

Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Express 3500’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

When should I have my Express 3500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?

Caring for your Chevrolet Express 3500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
