Assuming you have an automatic transmission, the dipstick should be located toward the rear of the engine on the passenger side. With vehicle warmed up and parking brake applied the transmission fluid is checked with the transmission in neutral.
The automatic transmission fluid in a 1997 Dodge Ram with a diesel engine helps keep the transmission components lubricated properly. This fluid gets dark and discolored over time, and loses its effectiveness and viscosity. Dodge recommends that you change the transmission fluid every time you change the transmission filter. This is a fairly easy job, albeit a messy one, that you should be able to get done in about an hour. 1. Step 1 Drive the Dodge Ram for 10 minutes to warm up the transmission fluid. Park on level ground, engage the emergency brake, and remove the key. 2. Step 2 Jack up the front of the Dodge Ram. Lower the frame onto jack stands and remove the jack. Place the drain pan underneath the transmission pan, which is on the transmission behind the rear wheels. 3. Step 3 Loosen all of the bolts on the transmission filter using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket, but do not remove them. Allow the fluid to empty into the drain pan, then remove the rest of the bolts on the filter with the ratchet and pull the pan down from the transmission. Pour any leftover fluid into the drain pan. 4. Step 4 Clean the inside of the drain pan with the mechanic's rags. Scrape the gasket material off the transmission pan and the transmission using the gasket scraper. Install the gasket on the transmission pan. Bolt the assembly onto the transmission using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket, tightening them in a crisscross pattern. Tighten the bolts to 150 inch/lbs using the torque wrench. 5. Step 5 Jack up the Dodge Ram enough to remove the jack stands. Lower the truck. Pop the hood and locate the dipstick with the yellow handle for the transmission fluid. Remove the dipstick and put the funnel in the dipstick tube. 6. Step 6 Pour the automatic transmission fluid into the funnel, then reinsert the dipstick in the dipstick tube. Start the Dodge Ram and keep it running for 15 minutes. Pull out the transmission dipstick and check to see if the level is between the two dots on the bottom of the dipstick. If it is, stop. If it isn't, add fluid until it is. Change the filter while the pan is off, only use ATF+4 ( not Dextron), and check the fluid level in nuetral.
