2008 Dodge Ram 2500 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. 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 light the load might seem. 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? Yes. Dodge Ram 2500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
