2012 Ram 1500 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Ram's brakes? 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 my Ram tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 1500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 1500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my 1500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Ram 1500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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 Ram. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Ram 1500? Yes. Ram 1500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who does Ram 1500 transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 1500 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Ram 1500 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 1500 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
