What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2013 Dodge Charger

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Charger's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Dodge, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Charger’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2013 Dodge Charger, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Dodge's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages.
