1991 Dodge Ram 50 Maintenance

You want your Dodge Ram 50 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Ram 50. 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 50, 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 1991 Dodge Ram 50!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Ram 50 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1991 Dodge Ram 50 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1991 Dodge Ram 50 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Ram 50. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1991 Dodge Ram 50 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the 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. 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 50 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1991 Dodge Ram 50 running newer, longer.
