Can Dodge service save me money?

How do I know if my Dodge drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Dodge W350? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Dodge W350 differential service?

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

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a W350?

Can you clear the W350 check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your W350's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your W350.

Does my W350 drivetrain include the transmission?
