The Ultimate Guide to Maintaining Your Chevrolet's Transmission for Smooth Driving

Whether you have a sedan, an SUV, or a truck, you may want to improve its already excellent performance and take it to the next level. At your Chevy dealer, we have a huge range of Chevy accessories to do just that. We want to tell you about some of the available choices, depending on your model, that our Chevy-trained technicians can install for you. more Cold Air Intake System Your engine requires air for combustion, and this air passes through the engine air filter, where dust and other debris are removed. Air is essential for your engine as it mixes with the fuel and allows efficient burning when ignited by the spark plugs. A cold air intake system increases the flow of colder outside air into your engine, and the increased airflow improves engine performance. Cold Weather Steering Hose Upgrade Kit Power steering supplies extra muscle to allow your steering wheel to move easily by using hydraulic power. The steering hoses connect the power steering pump to the cylinders to supply this power, but cold weather can damage this hose over time. Hoses flex more in cold weather, like our winters here in Nitro, WV. Flexing causes cracks, allowing power steering fluid to leak and making it difficult to turn your steering wheel. These hose upgrades prevent this problem. Kits are available for different engines. They are rated to work effectively and resist damage at up to -40 F, a temperature we fortunately never experience. Brake Upgrade System If your Chevy model is designed for high-performance driving, like the Camaro or Corvette, a brake upgrade can give you more control and make your experience even safer. These upgrades minimize brake wear and improve their efficiency at high speeds. Suspension Upgrades These upgrades can improve performance if you want an enhanced off-road experience or higher speeds on a track. They can drop your suspension for high-performance driving to give you an extra edge or lift your suspension to clear higher obstacles with ease in the great outdoors. Engine braces are available for the Camaro and Corvette to increase chassis and lateral stiffness, or you can add a steel driveshaft to resist damage if you enjoy rock climbing in your truck. These are just a few samples of the accessories we can add to improve performance. Visit us today at Walker Chevrolet in Nitro, WV, to see the full range.

Problems with your car's electrical system can severely compromise your vehicle's performance, and they can even stop you from driving altogether. Electrical problems should always be repaired by a factory-trained Chevy technician at the Chevy dealer, as you need the problem handled by an expert. more 1. A Blown Fuse A blown fuse is a minor issue that can timidly be handled in a matter of minutes, but you need a professional to locate your fuse box and replace the correct fuse. You should pay attention to see how often your fuses blow because if fuses frequently blow in your car, then you may need to have your entire fuse box replaced. 2. A Faulty Alternator A faulty alternator can cause problems with your electrical accessories, such as the power windows, heated seats, and charging ports. You might find that the accessories slow down or stop working completely. Faulty alternators can also cause issues with your headlights, making them dim or causing them to flicker. If the problem gets too bad, then your alternator may no longer be able to charge up your battery, which can prevent your car from starting. 3. A Bad Battery A damaged or old battery can cause problems with your electrical system similar to a faulty alternator. You can't always tell the difference between a bad alternator and a bad battery until the issue stops your car from switching on. A faulty battery can typically be jumpstarted, but the car won't stay on after jumpstarting if your alternator is the problem. Pay attention to your battery case, too. If the battery case is misshapen, or if you see a crystal-like substance on its metal terminals, then the battery should be replaced. 4. A Loose or Faulty Spark Plug If one or more of your spark plugs are loose or faulty, then your engine may misfire or stall. You'll also notice a loss of power when you're driving. If too many of your spark plugs aren't working, you might even have trouble starting your car. 5. A Broken Starter Motor When you attempt to start your car, you should hear a click before the engine turns on. If the battery or alternator is preventing your car from switching on, then you should still hear that clicking sound. If you don't hear the clicking sound, then your starter motor is most likely broken and should be repaired or replaced at the dealer. 6. A Failed Engine Control Module The computer that controls your engine can fail. When this component is faulty or has failed, your check engine light will turn on, you'll experience decreased performance and frequent stalling, or your car simply won't start at all. Is your electrical system acting strangely? Come and get it fixed at Walker Chevrolet in Nitro, WV.
