What are signs my Dodge drivetrain is damaged?

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

When should I come in for Dodge Durango differential service?

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

Can you reset your Durango’s malfunction warning light 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 Durango'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 Durango.

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Durango. 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 Durango.

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

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Durango is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

2001 Dodge Durango Drivetrain Service

Your Durango drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Dodge, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Durango’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2001 Dodge Durango, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Dodge's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Dodge Durango Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2001 Dodge Durango drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Dodge Durango may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Dodge Durango drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2001 Dodge Durango drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
