What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1987 Dodge Ramcharger

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Ramcharger's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Dodge, from back to front. It’s one of your Ramcharger’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1987 Dodge Ramcharger, 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.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1987 Dodge Ramcharger drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Dodge Ramcharger may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
