Questions About 2001 Dodge Ram 2500’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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.
  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Ram 2500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Ram 2500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Ram 2500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Dodge Ram 2500 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Dodge, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Dodge Ram 2500 transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Dodge Ram 2500, 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.
