What are the symptoms of a damaged Chevrolet drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Chevrolet S10, 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 S10 differential service?

At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a S10’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Is it possible to reset the S10 malfunction warning light on my 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 S10'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 S10.

Does my S10 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your S10’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your S10 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
