2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Maintenance Schedule

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. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Ram 2500 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Ram 2500's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. 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 2006 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Ram 2500 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Ram 2500 stranded. Your Dodge Ram 2500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 engine. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 2006 Ram 2500, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500? We can help with that, too!
