Why does the check engine light in my 1500 turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your 1500 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why is my Ram 1500 making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Ram 1500 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Ram 1500 engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Is it okay to put water in my Ram 1500 radiator?

While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your 1500 radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What could cause my 1500 engine to suddenly stop?

If your 1500 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
