Overview of Essential Dodge D150 Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1983 Dodge D150 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your D150's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1983 Dodge D150 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your D150 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge D150 battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Dodge D150 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1983 Dodge D150's engine run smoother. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1983 D150, check out the information table at the beginning 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 1983 Dodge D150.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.

1983 Dodge D150 Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 1983 Dodge D150. Get answers to common Dodge D150 maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Dodge D150? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Dodge D150 to high mileage oil? If your Dodge D150 has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Dodge? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Dodge D150 in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
