MAUMEE, Ohio, March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Incorporated
(NYSE: DAN) announced today that it has launched its new video
training series, "Driveline Forensics," to educate
commercial-vehicle technicians on the proper installation and
maintenance of Dana driveline components. The initial videos
cover driveshaft removal; proper inspection of driveshafts, center
bearings, end yokes, and tubing; u-joint greasing technique; and
driveshaft installation.
The new series is hosted by Jessi
Combs, TV personality, performance driver, metal fabricator,
vehicle builder, and industrial artist. Combs will be making
a special appearance at the Dana booth during next week's
Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) annual meeting and
exhibition to meet attendees and promote the "Driveline Forensics"
program.
"We are pleased to provide this new, important educational
platform to ensure that commercial-vehicle technicians are
sufficiently prepared to maintain today's evolving drivetrain
technologies," said Mark Wallace,
president of Dana Commercial Vehicle Driveline Technologies.
"Jessi Combs is a natural fit to
present this training, given her robust background in vehicle
build, performance driving, metal fabrication, and on-camera
experience in automotive and industrial specialty programs.
We look forward to her continued involvement as the series
develops."
"Driveline Forensics" will feature short, easy-to-follow
training sessions focused on Dana steer axle, drive axle, and
driveshaft components, as well as key sub-systems. While
technical in nature, the videos are designed with a fun, spirited
approach that exemplifies Combs' signature style.
Each video will focus on essential servicing and repair topics,
such as removal and installation steps, proper inspection and
maintenance procedures, diagnostics, and troubleshooting tips.
Joining the driveshaft maintenance videos will be courses
covering the following driveline themes:
- Axle inspection and maintenance, including a focus on power
flow, the interaxle differential, and the differential lock
- Steer axle maintenance inclusive of end play, vertical play,
and proper greasing
- Driveshaft vibration and angle analysis
Dana will continue to expand the "Driveline
Forensics" series throughout 2019. The videos are
currently available at dana.com/commercial-vehicles under the
Tools and Training tabs.

Combs at Dana's booth, 2801, Monday,
