How does Dodge drivetrain maintenance help save money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Dodge drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Dodge 600, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Dodge 600 differential service?

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

What causes a 600’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Can you reset your 600’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
