Questions About 1996 GMC K2500 Suburban’s Transmission

  • How much can my GMC tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your K2500 Suburban towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my GMC K2500 Suburban? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your GMC K2500 Suburban, potentially causing transmission problems.
