Our technicians can identify and repair minor issues so they don't become serious, potentially expensive problems. As your local RAM dealer, we'd like to advise you on some of the RAM maintenance we provide when you regularly haul heavy loads. more Cooling System Service Your engine generates large amounts of heat due to combustion and the movement of countless components. The heat has to be removed, as it can damage seals, gaskets, and other sensitive engine systems. The cooling system uses coolant, a mixture of antifreeze and water, to remove engine heat. The heat is absorbed in the coolant and transported to the radiator, where it's removed by heat exchange. When regularly towing, your engine works harder to provide the additional power needed to tow a load. This generates more heat, and a cooling system service will ensure the system works efficiently and this heat is quickly and safely removed. During a service, we test all cooling system components and replace the coolant. Brake System Service Healthy brakes give you complete control over your speed at all times, allowing you to easily stop whenever you want. As time passes, brake components wear out or become damaged due to heat, pressure, and normal wear and tear. Efficient brakes are even more important when towing, as their additional weight means your vehicle will take longer to stop. Our technicians check all brake components for damage and test they're working correctly. Brake pads are examined and replaced if needed to ensure they provide the friction that forces your wheels to a stop. The brake fluid is replaced as new fluid provides increased hydraulic power. Tire Check Good tire tread is essential, as the tread grips the surface and provides the traction needed for safe driving. Tread wears down over time due to this surface friction, and lower tread increases stopping distances and slows braking. In addition, tire rubber slowly loses its innate flexibility, and this can cause it to crack and leak. Correct inflation is also important, as underinflated tires sag downward, exposing the softer sidewalls to friction damage. In contrast, overinflated tires curl upward the edges, placing more strain on the center of the tread and causing extra wear and tear. Our technicians will examine your tires, and if necessary, we can replace them so you can drive safely. Tow with confidence by booking your maintenance today.

To keep your engine healthy, it's important that you keep clean engine oil circulating through your system. Read on to discover how often you must visit your trusted Dodge dealer for an oil change and how clean oil extends the longevity of your engine. more Clean oil is vital for many reasons, including keeping your engine clean. The dirtier your oil is, the more likely it becomes that your engine will be damaged by dirt and other circulating debris. Furthermore, clean oil helps prevent rust buildup. Additionally, clean oil protects your engine by ensuring its moving parts remain lubricated. Moreover, having dirty oil swapped for fresh oil ensures engine longevity by managing heat. Other Benefits of Clean Engine Oil Besides ensuring your motor's longevity, clean oil provides many other benefits. For instance, ​it improves fuel economy because your motor doesn't have to work ​as hard when its moving components are lubricated sufficiently. You can also enjoy ​a much better driving experience; your drive will be quieter, and you ​can accelerate better due to the clean engine oil's heat management. How Often You Should Visit Your Dodge Dealer for Motor Maintenance A good rule of thumb is to come in for an engine oil replacement every 7,000 to 10,000 miles. However, you may need to come in more frequently depending on how much strain you put your motor under. One of the most common examples of severe driving conditions is routinely idling for extended periods, such as when warming up your car before driving in the winter and driving in stop-and-go traffic. Another common way motors are put under "severe" strain is short trips. If you regularly drive fewer than four miles at a time, it may be necessary to come in for more frequent oil swaps. More frequent oil replacements also may be necessary if you regularly: Drive in dusty conditions Tow heavy things Haul heavy things on your roof Traverse steep inclines Drive fast in hot weather Keeping clean engine oil in your system will improve your Dodge's performance and extend the useful life of your motor. Contact us at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Gaylord in Gaylord, MI to schedule your routine engine maintenance if it's been a few months since your last service.
