Ram Truck Summer Maintenance

With the arrival of warmer weather, battery-related issues can crop up, primarily because your battery undergoes increased strain in such conditions. Take a moment to lift the hood of your Ram and inspect the battery's mounting. Incorrect mounting can result in unsettling vibrations during off-road ventures or high-speed highway travel. Additionally, it is crucial to examine the battery's wires for any signs of corrosion and ensure proper connections. Lastly, be mindful of the age of your battery, as one that is 3-4 years old may require attention. In such cases, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with our experts at Reedman Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Springfield.

Every fluid within your Ram plays a vital role in maintaining the proper functioning of your engine, encompassing tasks such as cooling and lubricating the intricate moving components. When fluid levels dip too low, or leaks occur, your engine may be compelled to operate beyond its intended capacity, resulting in diminished performance. Neglecting to replenish these fluids can swiftly lead to engine failure, incurring substantial repair expenses. Therefore, it is imperative to have key fluids, including power steering, transmission, coolant, and brake fluid, regularly inspected and topped off as necessary.

With winter behind us and rising temperatures, it's time to rely extensively on your Ram's air conditioning system. Ensuring a relaxed and comfortable environment for you and your passengers is paramount during summer. If you discover that your air conditioning is not functioning as expected, don't hesitate to visit Reedman Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Springfield and schedule an appointment with our skilled technicians. They will gladly diagnose and address any issues with your Ram's air conditioning system, guaranteeing optimal performance for those scorching summer drives.

Examine the engine belts and hoses for wear, cracking, or fraying signs. Replace any damaged belts or hoses to avoid potential breakdowns and engine damage. In addition, dust and debris accumulate in the air filter over time, reducing the engine's efficiency and potentially affecting fuel economy. Inspect the air filter and clean or replace it if necessary to ensure proper airflow. We also recommend replacing your worn wiper blades to maintain clear vision while driving. The final thing we have to discuss is the care of your exterior by regularly washing and waxing your Ram truck to protect the paint from the sun's UV rays. Consider applying a UV protectant on plastic trim and rubber seals to prevent fading and cracking.
