1989 GMC G2500 Questions & Answers

  • How much can my GMC tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your G2500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my GMC G2500 leak transmission fluid? Yes, your GMC G2500 can develop a transmission fluid leak.
