How often should I come in for Ford E-150 Econoline differential service?

Why is my E-150 Econoline malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Can my E-150 Econoline malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline

Your E-150 Econoline drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Ford, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your E-150 Econoline and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Ford's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
