2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Silverado 1500's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Silverado 1500 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
