Questions About 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van’s Transmission

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Ram 1500 Van is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Ram 1500 Van's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1999 Ram 1500 Van’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 Ram 1500 Van leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Dodge Ram 1500 Van can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Ram 1500 Van 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.
  • Where can I get my  Dodge Ram 1500 Van transmission fixed? When your Ram 1500 Van transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
