Did You Know?
You vehicle's differential is a kind of "unsung hero" within the powertrain system.
The differential has two primary responsibilities: directing engine power to the drive wheels and allowing the wheels to rotate at different speeds when cornering. If the wheels couldn't rotate at different speeds, your vehicle's tires would display a wheel "hop" effect, thereby making cornering a rough experience for both you and your tires.

So, don't be "indifferent" toward your differential. It plays a vital role in moving your vehicle and ensuring a smooth ride.
Radiator Contamination
When an engine or transmission fails and needs to be replaced, often, the vehicle's radiator must a replaced as well. This is due to the engine or transmission contaminating the radiator with excessive gear shavings or other foreign objects at failure.
