How does GMC drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

How do I know if my GMC drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your GMC Jimmy, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for GMC Jimmy differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What causes a Jimmy’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Jimmy can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the Jimmy check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Jimmy's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Jimmy.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Jimmy?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Jimmy should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Jimmy drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Jimmy’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Jimmy forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
