Can Ford service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Ford drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Ford E-100 Econoline, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Ford E-100 Econoline differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a E-100 Econoline?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your E-100 Econoline can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.
