Can Dodge service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Dodge drivetrain system?

When should I come in for Dodge W250 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my W250?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your W250’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my W250 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 worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my W250?

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my W250?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your W250 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your W250 forward.
