  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my W150's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Dodge W150 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 my Dodge W150 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Dodge W150 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
