All About 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty Drivetrain Service

Your F-250 Super Duty drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your F-250 Super Duty’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty, you help maintain your vehicle's 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

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Ford could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Ford F-250 Super Duty doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.

  • How does Ford drivetrain maintenance help save money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • How do I know if my Ford drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Ford F-250 Super Duty, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • How often will I need Ford F-250 Super Duty differential service? We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • Why is my F-250 Super Duty malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? If your F-250 Super Duty has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.
  • Is it possible to reset the F-250 Super Duty malfunction warning light on my own? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your F-250 Super Duty’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

  • Is my F-250 Super Duty’s transmission part of the drivetrain? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your F-250 Super Duty’s drivetrain.

Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
