1998 Dodge B2500 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge B2500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your B2500. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine B2500 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1998 Dodge B2500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your B2500 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Dodge B2500 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Dodge B2500 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your B2500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1998 Dodge B2500 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge B2500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty B2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge B2500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1998 Dodge B2500 engine. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1998 B2500 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1998 Dodge B2500.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge B2500 can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Dodge B2500 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Dodge B2500's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Dodge B2500 services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Dodge B2500 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Dodge B2500 radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it.
