Can Chevrolet service save me 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 G20, 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 G20 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.

Why is my G20 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your G20’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the G20 check engine light on your 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 G20'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 G20.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my G20?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your G20. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your G20.

Is my G20’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your G20 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 G20 forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1986 Chevrolet G20

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your G20'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 G20 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 1986 Chevrolet G20 to maintain its performance power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
