All About 2008 Dodge Viper Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Viper's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Dodge, from the axles to the transmission. 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 2008 Dodge Viper, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Dodge's recommendations.
