Transfer case maintenance procedures are easy to implement since a typical car will display practical signs when repairs are needed. Although many automotive brands design different transfer case hardware, general equipment will develop similar problems once certain components are damaged or defective.

When shifting to another drive mode, the gears underneath the frame with interact with the wheel axles. If a transfer case needs maintenance, you’ll experience a minor or major delay as the hardware adjusts to a different drive mode. Depending on the hardware, the axles may rub other components throughout this process. If this happens, you’ll hear a loud noise while the transfer case functions with the gears underneath the automobile. By listening to the hardware while the engine is running slowly, you can seek maintenance before the grinding procedures damage vital transfer case hardware.

If you need help resolving other problems that involve an oil leak, services options are available at Winner Ford. Our crews enhance, replace, and repair transfer cases that are designed for vintage and traditional vehicles at our service center, so plan your visit today!

Have you ever seen the light come on in your vehicle indicating that your engine is overheating? Did you ever wonder why that is happening? That is why our staff members want to be sure that you understand the basics of your cooling system and radiator.

When your engine gives off heat the coolant, running through tubes, absorbs some of that heat and transfers it to cooling fins on the radiator. This heat is then expelled to the surroundings thus keeping your engine temperature at a safe level. Most experts estimate that a radiator will last somewhere between eight and ten years, but this figure can vary widely depending on how hard you push your vehicle.

If you need an experienced service team to check your radiator and coolant levels or to perform service on your vehicle be sure to give us a call to schedule an appointment or stop on by our service center at Winner Ford in Dover, DE today!

Many are the times when we forget that our cars just like our bodies are complex machines. With this complexity comes the need for regular replacement or maintenance. Mostly we only remember to deal with parts and forget the fluids that are important in the functioning of these components.

There are different fluids in a car as mentioned below together with their functions and when they should be replaced.

• Engine oil. It is mainly used in lubricating the moving parts within the engine thus preventing corrosion. It should be changed at least after 3,000 miles, depending on your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
• Power steering fluid. It protects the power steering and gear unit components from grinding against each other. Needs to be checked at least once every month.
• Coolant. It helps in regulating the heat in the radiator making it avoid overheating.
• Braking fluid. It moves the different parts of the braking system. It should be replaced once in every two years.

If you have any queries, visit our dealership today.

Tire rotation is a very important and often overlooked aspect of vehicle maintenance. Rotating your tires means switching your tires from one location to another, such as left to right and back to front. But why is this simple task so important to the upkeep of your vehicle?

When driving, your front and back tires often wear down unevenly from each other. The main reason you want to rotate your tires is to avoid this from happening. Your front tires often wear down much quicker and unevenly than the back set, so rotating your tires can help prevent this. Simply rotating your tires can add thousands of miles onto your current set of tires before they need to be replaced again. Not only will it save you money in the long run, but it can also help to make your ride much smoother, and can even make your trips safer and avoid any auto accidents that would lead to medical assistance.

Schedule a routine tire rotation with your next oil change at Winner Ford in Dover, Delaware!
