When should I come in for GMC Sierra 1500 Classic differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Sierra 1500 Classic?

Is it possible to reset the Sierra 1500 Classic malfunction warning light on my 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 Sierra 1500 Classic'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 Sierra 1500 Classic.

A drivetrain malfunction in your Sierra 1500 Classic 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.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Sierra 1500 Classic?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Classic

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Sierra 1500 Classic's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Sierra 1500 Classic and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Classic, 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 Sierra 1500 Classic 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Classic drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Sierra 1500 Classic might need 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. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your GMC Sierra 1500 Classic doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Classic? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
