1988 Dodge Ramcharger Questions & Answers

  • 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. 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 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 Ramcharger’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Ramcharger's transmission fluid need to be inspected? 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Dodge Ramcharger? Yes. Dodge Ramcharger transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

  • Is it okay to drive a Ramcharger with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Ramcharger if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
