How often will I need Ford Expedition differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Expedition?

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

Is it possible to reset the Expedition 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 Expedition?

If your Expedition 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.

Is my Expedition’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Expedition includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Expedition forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2011 Ford Expedition

Your Expedition drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2011 Ford Expedition 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.

When to Get Ford Expedition Drivetrain Repairs

Your Ford Expedition may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2011 Ford Expedition? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
