When should I come in for GMC Yukon XL differential service?

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

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Yukon XL?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Yukon XL. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
