How often will I need Ram 1500 differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 1500?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 1500 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the 1500 malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 1500's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your 1500.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my 1500?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your 1500. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your 1500.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 1500?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 1500’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 1500 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

Care for your 2015 Ram 1500 to maintain its performance power. Follow Ram's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
