Can Ford service save me money?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Transit-350?

A multitude of problems can activate your Transit-350’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the Transit-350 check engine light on your 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 Transit-350's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Does my Transit-350 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Transit-350’s drivetrain.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 Ford Transit-350

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Transit-350's engine to its 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 Transit-350 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2018 Ford Transit-350, 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.

When to Get Ford Transit-350 Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2018 Ford Transit-350 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Transit-350 might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. 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 Transit-350 drives.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2018 Ford Transit-350 drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends!
