1998 Ford E-250 Econoline Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Ford? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Ford? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your E-250 Econoline is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my E-250 Econoline's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Ford E-250 Econoline’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Ford's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Ford E-250 Econoline? Yes. Ford E-250 Econoline 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.
  • Where can I get my  Ford E-250 Econoline transmission fixed? When your E-250 Econoline transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I drive my Ford E-250 Econoline with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your E-250 Econoline if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
