Hear noises toward the back of your Ford F-350 Super Duty? 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-350 Super Duty differential service?

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a F-350 Super Duty?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your F-350 Super Duty can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the F-350 Super Duty check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Does my F-350 Super Duty drivetrain include the transmission?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Your F-350 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. It's one of the most complex systems in your F-350 Super Duty and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Ford's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
