2005 Dodge Ram 1500 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Dodge tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Ram 1500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Ram 1500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Dodge Ram 1500’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.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Dodge Ram 1500? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Dodge Ram 1500, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
