1983 Dodge B250 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Dodge? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Dodge B250? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your B250 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my B250's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1983 B250’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Dodge. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Dodge B250? Yes, your Dodge B250 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your B250 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
