2010 GMC Sierra 1500 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my GMC's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my GMC tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Sierra 1500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Sierra 1500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Sierra 1500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your GMC Sierra 1500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your GMC's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can GMC Sierra 1500 transmission fluid leak? Yes. GMC Sierra 1500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
