Questions About 1997 Dodge B2500’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Dodge's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Dodge tow?   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 B2500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your B2500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my B2500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Dodge B2500’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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Dodge B2500 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Dodge B2500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
