Three DIY Fixes You Can Do to a Dodge W350 on the Cheap

Your W350 is the ideal Dodge pickup. A 4x4 with serious towing and hauling chops -- the kind you don't see a lot of anymore.

Let regular service go, though -- or ignore a few common problems -- and you won't. Worse yet, you'll probably end up footing one load of a bill while your truck sits in pieces in the bay of a Mopar service center.

Our advice: stay ahead of all that. Keep an eye out for the following, and if needed, get on repairs ASAP. Luckily, none of them are all that expensive -- and they'll help keep your ride on the road a lot longer.

1. Brake Shoes

W350 models from between 1990 and 1993 had a known issue where the brakes stop working right. That happens to you, and most likely, it's because of worn-out brake shoes -- more specifically, on the 12-inch rear brakes. They'll have to be replaced -- a job that'll run you $260 to $300, on average.

2. Transmission Oil Cooler

W350 models from the same model yeas also had a known issue where their transmissions failed. Usually, that's a case for replacement, if not a rebuild, but in this case, it's most likely because of the lines in the transmission oil cooler being pinched or clogged. Try flushing the system; if that doesn't work, it'll need to be replaced. That'll run you $575 to $640, on average (a lot less than the thousands of dollars a transmission costs to replace).

2. Oil System

W350 models from between '90 and '93 were also known to have oil leak from more than a few different places -- from the gaskets on the valve covers, from the timing cover gasket, and even from the gasket on the intake manifold, for instance. It can even from the distributor O-ring and the rear main seal area's bearing cap, getting into the distributor in the process. You'll have to replace any problematic parts, including the distributor, if it gets oily.

Cost varies here; a valve cover gasket, for example, can run $240 to $290 on average, while a timing cover gasket can go for $900 to $1,000 or more and a distributor is priced at $480 to $700 plus.
