With the power of a Ram truck's engine, the transmission is under considerable pressure in transferring all that impressive force to the wheels. As sturdy and reliable as a Ram's gearbox is, you need to take good care of it if you wish to enjoy its maximum lifespan. With this in mind, here's a guide to proper Ram transmission service and maintenance. more Use the Correct Transmission Fluid Transmission fluid lubricates the myriad moving components inside the gearbox, clutch, torque converter, and other integral parts, while also maintaining high hydraulic pressure. This fluid is crucial to the proper functioning of almost everything inside the transmission. However, not all transmission fluids are equal. Make sure you find the correct fluid for your model and don't use anything else; you can consult your owner's manual or one of our technicians on this. Check Fluid Condition and Level Keep an eye on your transmission fluid with regular checks. You can use the dipstick to see its level and condition; if the fluid is low, top it up and inspect the underside of your truck for leaks. When fresh, transmission fluid should be light red and sweet-smelling. If your fluid seems dark, grimy, and smells bad, have it flushed and replaced. Flush the Fluid When Necessary Transmission fluid usually needs to be changed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, and more frequently for manual drives. If you regularly use your truck for towing and hauling, you're putting the gearbox under more strain and will probably need to change the fluid once every 60,000 miles, which is about once every four years for most drivers. Maintain Your Cooling System Your engine's cooling system may also be integrated with the transmission cooling system, which prevents the gearbox from overheating. Make sure to carefully maintain the complete cooling system, including regular coolant checks and top-ups. Allow Your Engine To Warm Up When starting the engine on cold mornings, give both the engine and transmission a few minutes to warm up before driving. This allows the transmission fluid to become less viscous and more fluid, able to properly lubricate the system. Don't Carry or Tow More Than Necessary Ram trucks are built for heavy-duty work and can handle the toughest of tasks. In fact, some Rams have a payload capacity that exceeds the weight of a small car! Despite this, there's no need to overload or put unnecessary pressure on your truck. Occasionally lightening the load will lengthen the lifespan of your transmission. Visit Charlevoix Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Charlevoix, MI, to have your pickup's transmission serviced today. Our highly qualified, experienced technicians can keep your truck in excellent working order for many years to come.
