Can Dodge drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Dodge drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Dodge B150, 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 B150 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my B150?

If your B150 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Is it possible to reset the B150 malfunction warning light on my own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your B150, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your B150 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my B150 serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your B150 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my B150 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your B150’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your B150 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 1985 Dodge B150 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your B150's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Dodge, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your B150 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1985 Dodge B150, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Dodge's recommendations.

What Are Dodge B150 Drivetrain Repairs

We can fix many 1985 Dodge B150 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your B150 might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Dodge B150 doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1985 Dodge B150 drivetrain repair is expensive. Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
