When should I come in for Dodge Conquest differential service?

A multitude of problems can activate your Conquest’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the Conquest 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 Conquest'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 Conquest.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Conquest?

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

1985 Dodge Conquest Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Conquest's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Dodge, from back to front. It’s one of your Conquest’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1985 Dodge Conquest, 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.

When to Get Dodge Conquest Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1985 Dodge Conquest drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Conquest might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. 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 Conquest doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1985 Dodge Conquest? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
