2013 Ram 3500 Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Ram? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your 3500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my 3500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2013 3500’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 Ram. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Ram 3500? Yes. Ram 3500 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 Ram 3500 transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 3500 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Ram 3500 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 3500 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
