I own a 1996 Dodge Cummings 2500 clubcab. I just turned 208,506 miles on it and I had a new automatic transmission installed. What’s the best mileage expectancy on this transmission.

Asked by Guru13KWD Oct 01, 2019 at 11:44 PM about the 1996 Dodge RAM 2500 ST Club Cab RWD

Question type: General

Ive had this 1996 2500 diesel Dodge Ram since
Sept 7th 1995. Runs like a Swiss Watch. I cud not
be more pleased. After turning 208560 miles the
Tranny went out.
What’s the mileage expectations of the automatic
tranny in my Dodge Ram 2500 club cab?

1 Answer

I think you did well with the transmission. Not too many people get over 200,000 on a trans. The life span will be longer if you take good care of it. Change the fluid often and look into a deep oil pan and transmission cooler along with a transmission fluid temperature gauge.
