Fuel Efficiency Tips for Ram Owners

Your RAM is designed to tackle tough terrains and heavy loads, but to keep it performing at its best, the transmission must be in top shape. This complex, hard-working component transmits enormous power to the wheels, requiring proper lubrication and treatment. A combination of appropriate driving habits and routine transmission service at your RAM dealer can ensure optimal performance and longevity for your gearbox. A Guide to Effective Transmission Care for Your RAM Use High-Quality Transmission Fluid The transmission fluid lubricates many moving parts while also maintaining hydraulic pressure inside the transmission. On top of this, the fluid cleans, protects against corrosion, and dissipates heat. However, not all transmission fluids are created equal. Check for the recommended fluid in your owner's manual; a trusted technician can also offer guidance on which fluid is ideal for your truck. Check Your Transmission Fluid Frequently Keep a close eye on your transmission fluids with regular checks. If it diminishes, top it up. If it begins to thicken, degrade, and burn, flush and replace it. To minimize the risk of deterioration, it's safest to flush transmission fluid every two years or 30,000 miles, although modern fluid can last much longer than this. more Respond Promptly to Signs of Gearbox Trouble Never hesitate to have your transmission inspected if you notice problems when shifting gears. RAM transmissions are smooth and responsive when healthy, so any strange sounds, vibrations, delays, or refusals to shift properly shouldn't be ignored. Often, the fault lies with the transmission fluid, but you might occasionally have a more serious malfunction to deal with. And if you find a puddle of red fluid under your truck, you may have a transmission fluid leak, which will need to be fixed at once. Avoid Hard Acceleration and Braking Your daily driving habits impact how long your transmission will last in good shape. Avoid aggressive driving with overuse of the gas and brake pedal. Both fast accelerating and hard braking strain the transmission, causing unnecessary wear and tear. Allow Your Truck to Warm Up Before Driving Another bad habit is starting the engine and then taking off at once. This doesn't give the motor oil and transmission fluid time to reach optimal lubricating temperature. Instead, give your truck a few minutes to warm up before you drive, especially during winter. Your engine and gearbox will thank you for it. Arrange Routine Transmission Service at Your RAM Dealer Periodically bring your truck in for servicing at your local dealership.
