What are signs my Ford drivetrain is damaged?

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

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a E-150?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your E-150’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the E-150 malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my E-150?

If your E-150 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my E-150 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your E-150’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your E-150 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2013 Ford E-150

Your E-150 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2013 Ford E-150, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Ford's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
