What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2003 Dodge Viper

Your Viper’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 one of your Viper’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2003 Dodge Viper, 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.

When to Get Dodge Viper Drivetrain Repairs

Your Dodge could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.
