Why does my Ram 3500’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your Ram 3500 firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why does my Dodge engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Dodge Ram 3500. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Dodge Ram 3500 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I add water to my Dodge Ram 3500 radiator?

Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

Why did my Ram 3500 engine suddenly stop?

Reasons your Ram 3500 car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
