1986 Dodge D350 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge D350 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your D350 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1986 Dodge D350!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer.

Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your D350 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1986 Dodge D350 problems later.

Bring your 1986 Dodge D350 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your D350's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.
