Transmission problems can develop over time due to worn or damaged parts. If they're not speedily repaired, they can lead to serious damage to your transmission. As your GMC dealer, we'd like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for transmission repair. Slipping Gears Your transmission computer automatically shifts gears to enable your GMC to move at the speed you desire. Your vehicle should then remain in the selected gear until it's shifted again by the computer. Slipping gears is a scary and dangerous situation where gear shifts happen unexpectedly. You'll feel a decrease in engine power, and you may hear harsh sounds from the transmission. The most common reason for this problem is a lack of transmission fluid. This fluid provides the hydraulic power that enables the gears to shift. Slipping gears could also be caused by a problem with the transmission computer, a faulty linkage, or worn gear teeth. Our technicians will need to investigate to determine the cause of the problem, then we'll repair it. Stalling Most drivers think of spark plug issues if their car stalls, but a transmission problem could albo be to blame. The engine produces energy, which is focused by the transmission and directed to your wheels to enable them to move at the required speed. The torque converter is part of the transmission, and it connects the transmission to the engine. It engages and disengages as energy is transferred from the engine to the transmission. A fault in the torque converter can cause it to engage later or disengage sooner than it should, and this causes the transmission to slip. If the transmission slips, your engine will stall. If the engine stalls and then restarts itself, the problem could be with the transmission lines. Our technicians will examine your transmission and fix the problem. Burning Rubber Smell The smell of burning rubber is appealing if you are at Daytona, but it's very concerning if it's coming from your transmission. This sharp, cloying smell is a sign that your transmission fluid is overheating and may be burning. We advise pulling over ASAP and contacting our service department so we can check your transmission. Transmission fluid is essential for your transmission, as it provides hydraulic power to move the gears and helps to cool hot components. Older transmission fluid becomes less efficient and loses its heat-resistant properties. This can cause the fluid to overheat inside the hot transmission and burn. We can fix this issue by draining the old fluid, flushing the transmission to remove any traces, and then refilling it with fresh transmission fluid.

If the performance and longevity of your car matter to you, it's important to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts for replacements during repairs. OEM parts are better designed, more reliable, and perfectly compatible with the rest of your car. Let's take a closer look at the many performance-enhancing benefits you gain from having only OEM components installed at your local Chevy dealership. Flawless Compatibility Each OEM car part was designed by the same Chevrolet engineers who constructed your car. As such, OEM car parts are perfectly compatible, as much as the original components being replaced. With an OEM car part, it's like waving a magic wand and restoring your original worn-out component to brand-new condition. By contrast, using aftermarket parts gradually turns your car into a Frankenstein's monster filled with random components sourced from various generic parts manufacturers. These generic parts are never as compatible as original OEM components and often require alterations or modifications. Even then, aftermarket parts always lack the same precise technical specifications as the original Chevrolet component. This mismatch naturally reduces overall vehicle performance. Superior Quality With OEM components, your new part is stamped with the Chevrolet brand and guaranteed superior quality. It goes without saying that better quality car parts equals better handling, steering, braking, engine power, suspension, transmission, and any other essential vehicle function. Greater Longevity OEM car parts also allow your car to perform better over the longer term. Components designed by Chevrolet are built to last, whereas, with generic aftermarket parts, you never know how rapidly they'll wear down and malfunction. Less Vehicle Wear and Tear By minimizing wear and tear on connected parts, OEM components also enhance the longevity of your car as a whole. With an imperfect fit and inferior quality, generic car parts often accelerate the wear of the entire vehicle. Long-Term Cost Savings Both the lifespan of a car and its overall performance are typically negatively correlated to the number and frequency of repair jobs. As OEM car parts wear down more slowly and suffer fewer faults, you have less frequent need for repairs and replacements. This maintains vehicle performance and can also amount to significant cost savings on vehicle upkeep over the long run. Visit Your Chevy Dealership for Further Guidance on OEM Car Parts A trusted technician at your local dealership can show you in more detail the difference between an original OEM car part and a generic aftermarket component. Once you realize the impressive benefits of opting for genuine Chevrolet car parts, you're bound to choose only OEM car parts from now on. Visit Bob Stephen Motors in Manchester, IA today to have your car promptly repaired by experienced professionals. We're a local full-service dealership dedicated to providing an excellent customer experience, whatever your vehicle purchasing or servicing needs may be. Image via

Both models give you plenty of customization and building options. They are both available with two-wheel and four-wheel drive, depending on how much control you need over your vehicle. The length and width of the cab can also be adjusted based on your storage needs. Price The Silverado 1500 starts out a few thousand less than the 2500. It goes for $48,000 and up. The high-end ZR2 starts from $72,000. The base model for the Silverado 2500 HD starts at $53,000. On the high end, a fully equipped High Country begins from $74,000 Power and Performance Towing will be one of your biggest concerns with the Silverado, but both models have the strength to move over ten thousand pounds with ease. The Silverado 2500 HD can tow up to 22,500 pounds when equipped with the 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel engine. If you stick with the V8 gas engine, it can still tow up to 16,000 pounds. It has a 10-speed automatic transmission. The smaller but still mighty 1500 Silverado can tow anywhere from 8,900 pounds to 9,500 pounds, depending on which engine you choose. The base model includes the standard turbo max gas engine, but you can also upgrade to the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine for more power and faster acceleration. It comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission for quicker shifting. Size If you want the most truck for your money, the Silverado 2500 HD is the larger of the two. It has more ground clearance for getting over all kinds of debris, a longer wheelbase for distributing the weight, and more storage space. Of course, you can also extend your Silverado 1500 truck bed if you need space but don't want to upgrade models. Safety Both trucks come with a slew of reliable safety features, including an HD backup camera, hitch guidance, forward collision alerts, following distance indicators, and front pedestrian breaking. You can also add the truck bed camera on the Silverado 2500 HD to keep an eye on your equipment. You can't go wrong with either Silverado, but one may suit you better, depending on how much you need to tow and how quickly you need to get to your destination.
