drivetrain

A drivetrain (also frequently spelled as drive train or sometimes drive-train) or Transmission System, is the group of components that deliver mechanical power from the prime mover to the driven components. In automotive engineering, the drivetrain is the components of a motor vehicle that deliver power to the drive wheels. This excludes the engine or motor that generates the power. In marine applications, the drive shaft will drive a propeller, thruster, or waterjet rather than a drive axle, while the actual engine might be similar to an automotive engine. Other machinery, equipment and vehicles may also use a drivetrain to deliver power from the engine(s) to the driven components.
In contrast, the powertrain is considered to include both the engine and/or motor(s) as well as the drivetrain.

    Engine PCV valve too long for 1986 CJ7

    Hi all, I am having an issue with my Jeep and changed all the spark plugs and noticed that my Pcv valve was sticking out kind of weird. The grommets were significantly deteriorated so I changed both the Pcv valve grommet and the Pcv elbow grommet. I thought the valve was sitting funny because...

    Misc Heater Core Leak?

    Hey Guys! I just noticed an extremely slow leak coming from under the vent assembly where the heater core is. It's hard to tell if it's coolant, or just water. I recently drove in a thunderstorm, and I was getting water dripping in the same spot, but that was definitely from the rust holes in...

    Engine I LOVE my Inline 6!

    I don't know why the 258 Inline 6 doesn't get more love. It's just a rock solid engine. It's got great low-end torque, and if it's tuned/geared right, you can comfortably drive at 60mph. Anything faster, and I'm worried about my rust bucket breaking apart. 😁 With the spark plugs on the opposite...

    Engine AMC 290 Fuel

    Recently (a few months ago, but went right into storage) picked up a 1979 CJ7. Most of it isn't factory anymore, including the AMC 290 the PO put in it, and I have questions. The most pressing, now that I'm almost through that original tank of fuel, is what fuel to use. I've read that the 290's...
