What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2020 Dodge Journey

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Journey's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. 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 2020 Dodge Journey, 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.
