2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Silverado 2500 HD’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Silverado 2500 HD is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Silverado 2500 HD's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Chevrolet's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD? Yes. Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who fixes Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Silverado 2500 HD transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Silverado 2500 HD to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
