1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge Ram 2500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Ram 2500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Ram 2500 maintenance. Just follow your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 problems later.

Bring your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Ram 2500. 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.

Could your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 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 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Ram 2500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 Ram 2500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
