What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1983 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon

Your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1983 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, 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 Ford's recommendations.

When to Get Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Drivetrain Repairs

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