1987 Dodge B250 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Dodge's brakes? 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 small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your B250’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your B250 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my B250's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Dodge B250’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Dodge's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to 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.

  • Can I drive my Dodge B250 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your B250 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
