What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500

Your Sprinter 3500 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mercedes-Benz could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style.
