Questions About 1988 Dodge W350’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Dodge? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Dodge W350? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your W350 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your W350 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my W350's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1988 W350’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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.
  • Can my Dodge W350 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Dodge W350 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.
  • Who does Dodge W350 transmission repair? When your W350 transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I still drive my Dodge W350 if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your W350 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
