Questions About 1989 Dodge W350 Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my W350 turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your W350 firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Dodge W350 making engine noise? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Dodge W350. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my Dodge W350 engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I add water to my Dodge W350 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.
  • What can cause the engine in my W350 to suddenly stop? Your W350 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
