What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD

Your Silverado 3500 HD’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Silverado 3500 HD’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD to maintain its performance power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
