1985 Dodge Ramcharger Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Dodge Ramcharger to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Ramcharger has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 Ramcharger, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 Dodge Ramcharger!

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; 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 Ramcharger running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1985 Dodge Ramcharger problems in the future.

Bring your 1985 Dodge Ramcharger to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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 Ramcharger’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1985 Dodge Ramcharger be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Ramcharger may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Ramcharger 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Ramcharger) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Ramcharger won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1985 Dodge Ramcharger engine. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1985 Ramcharger, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1985 Dodge Ramcharger.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge Ramcharger can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Dodge Ramcharger suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Dodge Ramcharger's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Dodge Ramcharger services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Dodge Ramcharger cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Dodge Ramcharger radiator?
