1996 Ford E-350 Econoline Drivetrain Service

Your E-350 Econoline’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the 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-350 Econoline and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1996 Ford E-350 Econoline to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Ford's recommendations.
