1990 GMC K2500 Questions & Answers

  • How much can I tow in a GMC K2500? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your K2500’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my K2500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your GMC K2500 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can GMC K2500 transmission fluid leak? Yes. GMC K2500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
