Maintaining the legendary strength and reliability of your RAM 2500 is essential for drivers who rely on their truck for both work and adventure around Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, and Rohnert Park, CA. At CardinaleWay Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Santa Rosa, we understand that sticking to a recommended service and maintenance schedule not only ensures optimal performance, but also helps protect your investment for years to come. While intervals may vary slightly by model year or specific configuration, a consistent routine is always recommended for heavy-duty trucks like the RAM 2500. Typically, drivers should pay special attention to basic vehicle health checks and scheduled services. Here are general guidelines most RAM 2500 owners can follow (always refer to your owner’s manual or consult your dealer for exact recommendations):
- Oil and Filter Change (Every 5,000–7,500 miles): Maintain engine health with regular oil changes, while also inspecting brake pads and tires. Rotate tires to ensure even tread wear.
- Engine & Suspension Check (Every 15,000 miles): Replace the engine air filter, check the suspension, inspect brake linings, and evaluate the cooling system for any potential issues.
- Major Component Inspection (Every 30,000 miles): Inspect the transfer case fluid (if applicable), replace the engine air filter, examine CV/universal joints, and change spark plugs for gas engines.
- Fluid & Belt Service (Every 60,000 miles): Replace transmission fluid (if needed), change axle fluids, and inspect belts and hoses for signs of wear or cracks.
- Annual Maintenance: Perform a multi-point inspection, assess HVAC system performance, and check for software updates or open recalls to keep systems operating optimally.
- As Needed: Replace windshield wipers, inspect lights and signals, and test the battery to ensure consistent reliability year-round.
