What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2024 Cadillac Escalade

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Escalade's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Cadillac, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2024 Cadillac Escalade, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Cadillac's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Cadillac Escalade Drivetrain Repairs

Your Escalade might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
