How often should I come in for Ram 1500 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

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

A multitude of problems can activate your 1500’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

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.

You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Ram's recommendations.
