1984 Dodge Ram 50 Questions & Answers

  • 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. 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 a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Ram 50’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Ram 50 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Ram 50's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1984 Ram 50’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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Dodge Ram 50 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Dodge Ram 50 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
