Can GMC service save me money?

What are signs my GMC drivetrain is damaged?

Your GMC C1500 drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for GMC C1500 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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 C1500?

Is it possible to reset the C1500 malfunction warning light on my own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your C1500, but it's important to resist the urge.

Does my C1500 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your C1500 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your C1500 forward.
