What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500

Your Express 3500’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. 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 tune into you 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500 drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
