Your E-150 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

Care for your 2005 Ford E-150 to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Ford's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your E-150 might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
