The rear differential service is essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your vehicle’s drivetrain. At Sprinter’s Barn, we recommend performing this service alongside the transmission service every 40,000–50,000 miles. This service includes a fluid replacement, seal replacement, and a comprehensive inspection of the differential. With proper care, this service can also provide insights into the condition of your axles (half-shafts), ensuring your vehicle stays roadworthy.

Service Includes:

  1. Fluid Replacement: Draining old differential fluid and refilling with high-quality fluid tailored to your vehicle’s specifications.
  2. Seal Replacement: Replacing worn or leaking seals (gaskets) to prevent fluid loss and maintain proper lubrication.
  3. Comprehensive Inspection: Checking the differential and surrounding components for signs of wear or damage.

Key Benefits:

  • Ensures smooth power transfer between the engine and wheels.
  • Helps prevent costly damage to the drivetrain.
  • Maintains vehicle handling and traction performance.
  • Provides insights into the condition of axles and related components.

Symptoms of Differential Issues:

If you notice any of these symptoms, it may indicate an issue with your rear differential:

  • Whining Noise: A howling or whining sound during acceleration or deceleration.
  • Impact or kick: A sudden jolt or thud when shifting into reverse.
  • Delayed Fluid Changes: Postponing fluid replacement can lead to excessive wear on moving parts, ultimately requiring a full differential replacement—a significantly more expensive repair.
