2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Van Maintenance

You want your Dodge Ram 2500 Van to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Ram 2500 Van. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Ram 2500 Van, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Van maintenance schedule!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Ram 2500 Van perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Van problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Van for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Ram 2500 Van. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Van. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Ram 2500 Van may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Dodge Ram 2500 Van battery. 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Ram 2500 Van) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Ram 2500 Van won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
