All About 1991 Dodge Ram 50 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Ram 50'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: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1991 Dodge Ram 50, 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.
