What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan

Your Grand Caravan’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Dodge, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan, 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 Grand Caravan 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 go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Dodge Grand Caravan may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Dodge Grand Caravan drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.

  • Can Dodge service save me money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • How do I know if my Dodge drivetrain is damaged? Hear noises toward the back of your Dodge Grand Caravan? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • How often will I need Dodge Grand Caravan differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Grand Caravan? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Grand Caravan’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Can you reset your Grand Caravan’s malfunction warning light at home? It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Grand Caravan, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Grand Caravan to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.
  • How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Grand Caravan? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Grand Caravan.

Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Grand Caravan.
  • Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Grand Caravan? Yes, the drivetrain system in your Grand Caravan includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Grand Caravan forward.
