2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Maintenance

You want your Dodge Ram 2500 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Ram 2500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Ram 2500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2008 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Ram 2500's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 problems.

Bring your 2008 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Ram 2500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Ram 2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Ram 2500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 engine. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 2008 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
