Questions About 1989 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my V2500 Suburban transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Chevrolet V2500 Suburban’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Chevrolet. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Chevrolet V2500 Suburban leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Chevrolet V2500 Suburban can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your V2500 Suburban ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
