Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 Dodge B3500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1998 Dodge B3500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your B3500 may need a replacement battery sooner.
