What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2012 Ford E-250

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your E-250's engine to its 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-250 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2012 Ford E-250, 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.
