2008 GMC Yukon XL 2500 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your GMC? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem.

  • How often does my Yukon XL 2500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2008 Yukon XL 2500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 my GMC Yukon XL 2500 leak transmission fluid? Yes, your GMC Yukon XL 2500 can develop a transmission fluid leak.
