2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Questions & Answers

  • 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.

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