Bring your 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Van to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check.

Could your 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Ram 2500 Van may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Ram 2500 Van battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then!

Your Dodge Ram 2500 Van won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
