What are signs my GMC drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your GMC Sierra 2500 HD, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need GMC Sierra 2500 HD 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 2500 HD?

Can you reset your Sierra 2500 HD’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
