What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Your F-250 Super Duty’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.

Care for your 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty to maintain its performance power. Follow Ford's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
