What are signs my Chevrolet drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Chevrolet Suburban 1500? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Chevrolet Suburban 1500 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Suburban 1500?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Suburban 1500’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Suburban 1500 check engine light on your own?

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.
