This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves.

A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Ram 3500 Van’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Van be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.
