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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Ram 50's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1985 Dodge Ram 50 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Dodge Ram 50 and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 50’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1985 Dodge Ram 50 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Ram 50 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Ram 50 stranded. Your Dodge Ram 50 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
