Can Ford service save me money?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my F-250 Super Duty?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your F-250 Super Duty can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

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

All About 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your F-250 Super Duty's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front.

Care for your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty 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 F-250 Super Duty Drivetrain Repairs

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Ford F-250 Super Duty may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Ford F-250 Super Duty drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
