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

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

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Yes, the drivetrain system in your F-150 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 F-150 forward.
