Can Jeep drivetrain maintenance help me 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 Jeep drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Jeep Grand Cherokee? 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 should I come in for Jeep Grand Cherokee differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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.

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

Can my Grand Cherokee malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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.

If your Grand Cherokee has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Grand Cherokee transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Your Grand Cherokee’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Jeep, from back to front. It’s one of your Grand Cherokee’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee to maintain its performance power. Follow Jeep's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
