What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Silverado 1500's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Chevrolet, from back to front. It’s one of your Silverado 1500’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Chevrolet's recommendations.

  • How does Chevrolet drivetrain maintenance help save money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • How do I know if my Chevrolet drivetrain is damaged? Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.
  • When should I come in for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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 the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Silverado 1500? If your Silverado 1500 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.
  • Can my Silverado 1500 malfunction warning light be reset at home? Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
  • How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Silverado 1500? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Silverado 1500. 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 Silverado 1500.
  • Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Silverado 1500? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Silverado 1500’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Silverado 1500 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
