Tune-Ups to Help Your Dodge Ram 50 Run Better

Is it time for an engine tune-up?

Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Ram 50’s power on the road. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run efficiently, which can mean better fuel economy (a win for you) and lower emissions (a win for the environment). When you take your car for regular engine tune-ups as recommended by Dodge, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Ram 50’s engine running smoother, longer.

Engine Tune-Up for Dodge Ram 50

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Dodge Ram 50 engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Ram 50. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your Ram 50. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Ram 50: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. This means that a tune-up service that’s a great fit for another car may not be optimal for yours. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A For 1987 Dodge Ram 50s

  • Will it hurt my Dodge Ram 50 to drive with old spark plugs? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Dodge’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Ram 50? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Dodge Ram 50. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • Are some driving habits better for my Dodge Ram 50 engine than others? Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.
