What are signs my Dodge drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Dodge B250, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

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

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.

What causes a B250’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Is it possible to reset the B250 malfunction warning light on my own?

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.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my B250?

If your B250 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my B250’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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.
