Questions About 1990 Chevrolet R1500 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet R1500 Suburban? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your R1500 Suburban is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my R1500 Suburban's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1990 R1500 Suburban’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Chevrolet, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Chevrolet R1500 Suburban leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Chevrolet R1500 Suburban can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your R1500 Suburban ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
