What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1991 GMC C2500

Your C2500’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your GMC, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1991 GMC C2500, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following GMC's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
