The 1996 Dodge B250 van doesn't have a transmission dipstick for checking the automatic transmission fluid level. Automatic transmission fluid level is checked differently, usually by removing a specific plug or checking the level through a specific port with the engine running and the transmission at operating temperature. There may be a dipstick for the power steering fluid, but not the automatic transmission.
To check the transmission fluid level, consult your owner's manual for the specific procedure. It is crucial to follow the steps in your manual precisely, as incorrect checking methods can damage the transmission. If you don't have the manual, you can find a copy online (often a PDF download) or check with a Dodge dealership or a reputable auto repair shop.
