Questions About 1983 Dodge Ramcharger’s Transmission

  • 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. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Ramcharger’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Ramcharger's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Dodge Ramcharger transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Dodge Ramcharger? Yes, your Dodge Ramcharger can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Ramcharger ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
