You want your Dodge Ram 3500 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, 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 2006 Dodge Ram 3500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 problems in the future.

Bring your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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. 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 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Ram 3500 may need a replacement battery sooner. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Ram 3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Ram 3500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 running newer, longer.
