2008 Dodge Ram 3500 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge Ram 3500 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Ram 3500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 2008 Dodge Ram 3500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Ram 3500 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. 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’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. 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.
