1988 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your B250’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my B250 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Dodge B250’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. 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.
