Questions About 1996 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
