What are signs my Dodge drivetrain is damaged?

How often should I come in for Dodge B250 differential service?

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

Can my B250 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your B250's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your B250.

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your B250. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your B250.

Does my B250 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your B250’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your B250 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
