Why does the check engine light in my 2500 turn on when I start my car?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is just your 2500 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why is my Ram 2500 making engine noise?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Ram 2500 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Ram 2500 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. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I put water in my Ram 2500 radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your 2500 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my 2500 to suddenly stop?

If your 2500 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
