Common Drivetrain Maintenance Services

Transmission and Transfer Case Service

Both your transmission and transfer case are responsible for optimizing your engine’s power. They both use fluid to facilitate frictionless movement and generally have the same service interval of 30 to 60 thousand miles. The two best ways to maintain your transmission and transfer case are routine fluid changes and inspection. By changing your fluid, you’re ensuring that your gears get adequately lubricated at all times as fluid will eventually break down. Inspection, on the other hand, is the best way to catch leaks and signs of wear before they become an issue. 

Heavy-Duty Axles

Another important part of your drivetrain is your axles. Axles are responsible for transferring power from your differential to your wheel hub and, as such, are the final part of your drivetrain. They must be adequately greased and maintained if they’re to stay in pristine working order. Common maintenance items include greasing bearings, repairing worn races, swapping out worn u joints, and replacing damaged axle shafts. 

Differential Maintenance 

Your differentials are a set of gears that take power from your driveshaft and move it toward your axles. Most differentials are open, meaning they transfer different amounts of power to each wheel. This allows your wheels to turn at different speeds when you turn. Maintaining your differential is as simple as changing its gear oil once every 30 to 60 thousand miles, and inspecting it on a regular basis.
