Can Dodge drivetrain maintenance help me save 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?

Your Dodge Nitro drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often should I come in for Dodge Nitro 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 Nitro?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Nitro’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my Nitro malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Nitro?

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

Does my Nitro transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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