Dodge knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Ram 1500 Van's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van 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). 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 Ram 1500 Van battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Ram 1500 Van stranded. Your Dodge Ram 1500 Van won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
