Why does the check engine light in my 3500 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 3500 testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why is my Ram 3500 making engine noise?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Ram 3500 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 may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Ram 3500 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Is it okay to put water in my Ram 3500 radiator?

While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your 3500 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 3500 engine to suddenly stop?

If your 3500 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
