What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2020 Ram 2500

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 2500's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Ram, from the axles to the transmission.

When you tune into you 2020 Ram 2500 drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Ram's recommendations.
