2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Maintenance

You want your Dodge Ram 3500 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Ram 3500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Ram 3500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 maintenance schedule!

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. 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; 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Ram 3500 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Ram 3500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2005 Dodge Ram 3500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Ram 3500 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. 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 3500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
