2001 GMC Yukon XL 2500 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my GMC's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a GMC? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Yukon XL 2500’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Yukon XL 2500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your GMC Yukon XL 2500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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 transmission fluid leak from my GMC Yukon XL 2500? Yes, your GMC Yukon XL 2500 can develop a transmission fluid leak.
