The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Ford, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, 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.
