Questions About 1997 GMC C2500 Suburban’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my GMC's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a GMC C2500 Suburban? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your C2500 Suburban’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my C2500 Suburban transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your GMC C2500 Suburban transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 GMC. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can GMC C2500 Suburban transmission fluid leak? Yes. GMC C2500 Suburban transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
