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

All About 1987 Dodge Charger Drivetrain Service

Your Charger drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Dodge, from back to front.

Care for your 1987 Dodge Charger to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Dodge's recommendations.

When to Get Dodge Charger Drivetrain Repairs

Your Charger might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
