Take care of your Dodge Ram 3500 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Ram 3500. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Ram 3500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500!

Dodge knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 3500's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Ram 3500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Ram 3500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Ram 3500 stranded. Your Dodge Ram 3500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500's engine run smoother.
