Can Ford service save me money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Ford drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Ford F-250? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Ford F-250 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a F-250’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your F-250’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the F-250 malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your F-250's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your F-250.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my F-250?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your F-250, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my F-250 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your F-250’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your F-250 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
