What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1995 GMC K1500 Suburban

Your K1500 Suburban’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your GMC, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your K1500 Suburban and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1995 GMC K1500 Suburban, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow GMC's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are GMC K1500 Suburban Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1995 GMC K1500 Suburban drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your GMC could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your GMC K1500 Suburban drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1995 GMC K1500 Suburban? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.

  • When should I come in for GMC K1500 Suburban 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.

The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your K1500 Suburban's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.
