Here's a breakdown of crucial Jeep maintenance that you don't want to miss, including how frequently to have each service carried out at your local Jeep dealership. Tire Pressure Checks (Monthly) When tires are improperly inflated, you're put at increased risk of skids and blowouts. Frequently check to ensure the PSI in each tire is at the level recommended in your owner's manual. Check All Vehicle Fluids (Monthly) Routinely check the level and condition of your motor oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and differential fluid. Top each fluid up or flush as required, and fix any leaks. Oil Change (Twice Yearly) Your engine depends on fresh motor oil to run smoothly. Have your oil changed every six months, and more frequently if you do a lot of off-roading, which tends to degrade motor oil faster. Tire Rotation (Twice Yearly) Have your tires rotated to mitigate uneven tire wear. This will keep your tires in good shape for longer. Brake Inspections (Twice Yearly) Have your brakes professionally inspected every six months. When brake pads, rotors, or calipers are found to be worn out, have them replaced at once. Inspect and Test the Battery (Yearly) Your battery will need to be checked for signs of damage and tested for conductivity strength. This becomes more important as the battery ages and also just before winter. Replace Windshield Wipers (Yearly) Windshield wipers usually need to be replaced after winter. You might also want to install heavy-duty wipers before winter to handle the cold and snow. Change Spark Plugs (Every Two Years) Your spark plugs may need to go after two years. However, superior-quality plugs can last for much longer than this. Ask a technician how long your spark plugs are likely to last.

The rack-and-pinion steering is nicely weighted and precise, allowing you to maneuver this beast with ease, while the 8-speed automatic transmission shifts effortlessly for smooth power.

Its high-octane engines and performance-focused engineering make it the quickest CUV on the market, while its spacious and luxuriously appointed cabin provides reassuring comfort and versatility. Mind-Blowing Power The Hornet is able to outrun and outperform most cars with ease, thanks to the potent power generated by either one of the two available engines.

Fortunately, as your Jeep dealer, we can prepare your vehicle to withstand even the lowest temperatures. We want to tell you about some Jeep winter maintenance to help your Jeep beat the winter. Battery Check Your battery supplies the electrical charge that powers the starter so it can crank your engine and begin combustion. The average life of a car battery is three to five years, but regular low temperatures can reduce this. Extreme cold causes the battery's electrolyte solution to partially solidify. At 0 F, a healthy battery can only supply approximately 50% of its regular power. Battery storage capacity declines naturally with age, making it more difficult to start the engine. Our technicians will connect your battery to our computerized battery tester. This machine subjects the battery to various stress tests to determine its remaining strength and storage capacity. If your battery is weak, we can install a new one in minutes. Oil Change Your engine depends on a constant flow of high-quality oil to keep it working effectively. Oil lubricates countless engine components, allowing them to move smoother and faster while protecting them against friction damage. Oil additives help prevent rust, break down potentially damaging engine deposits, and keep the engine clean. Older oil is less effective due to the absorption of dirt and other minute engine debris. The combination of age and low temperatures can lead to unnecessary engine wear and tear. We'll test the oil and replace it if needed. Fresh oil will ensure your engine works efficiently despite the cold. Check Windshield Wipers Windshield wipers can be easy to forget about but become very important when snow falls. Your wiper blades are made from high-quality rubber to allow them to clear your windshield quickly. Rubber degrades over time, becoming less flexible. The lack of flexibility can cause the blades to crack, and pieces will break off. Damaged blades can't effectively clear the windshield, and good visibility is essential in snowy conditions. We'll replace damaged blades and test the wiper system to ensure it's in good condition. If you'd like more information on winter preparation or to book a service, contact us today at Snethkamp CDJR of Gaylord in Gaylord, MI.

Several of these systems actively intervene to prevent accidents. As your Chrysler dealer, we want to tell you about some of the features you'll find in your vehicle. Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning With Active Braking This system combines alerts with active assistance if required. It uses radar to detect a vehicle in front of you, then compares your speed to the other vehicle's to determine if you're closing too fast. If the system identifies that an accident might occur, it provides visual and audible warnings to alert you so you can slow down and avoid an accident. If the distance continues to close, the system activates braking to slow your vehicle or bring it to an instant stop, depending on the situation. Instant braking will prevent a collision or reduce its severity at the very least. Adaptive Cruise Control With Stop and Go This feature allows you to set a specific speed that your Chrysler maintains until you intervene or it detects a vehicle ahead of you. You can also set the following distance, and your Chrysler will reduce speed if necessary to keep this distance. Stop and Go allows your vehicle to slow and stop if a vehicle ahead brakes, and then will resume its original speed when the other vehicle moves again. Blind Spot Monitoring System This system uses sensors that continually monitor your blind spots for vehicles you won't see. If a vehicle is detected when you're actively changing lanes, a warning icon appears in the corresponding side mirror, and a warning tone sounds. This gives you enough time to steer away and avoid a collision. ParkSense Rear Park Assist When you shift into reverse, this system activates and uses powerful sensors to detect stationary objects behind you. If something is detected, a warning icon will appear on your screen, and you'll hear a warning sound. Rear Cross Path Detection This system also uses sensors, but they monitor the area to the left and right when you reverse. If they detect a vehicle, the system provides audio and visual warnings and will brake to prevent a collision. Your Chrysler has many other safety features. If you'd like to know more, contact us today at Snethkamp CDJR of Gaylord in Gaylord, MI.

With exciting updates across most models and the debut of new electric options, RAM continues to lead the charge in versatility and performance. Here are some of the exciting features you can expect to find at your trusted Gaylord RAM dealership. The Professional ProMaster and ProMaster EV For 2025, the brand has expanded its ProMaster lineup by introducing the ProMaster EV, its first all-electric commercial van. The innovative model offers businesses emission-free driving while delivering the same adaptability and cargo solutions as its gas-powered counterpart. It's sustainable. But the new 200-kilowatt EDM also generates an impressive 268 horsepower and 302 lb-ft of torque. The traditional ProMaster also receives updates, including the improved Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a 10.1-inch display and enhanced safety systems tailored for professional use, like blind-spot monitoring and crosswind assist. Both models represent the brand's commitment to eco-friendly solutions without compromising utility. The New Heavy Duty and Chassis Cab Models: Soon At Your Gaylord RAM Dealership The Heavy-Duty and Chassis-Cab trucks will be upgraded in 2025 to solidify RAM's dominance in the heavy-duty truck segment. These models are expected to boast improved towing and payload capacities, cutting-edge driver assistance, and advanced cooling features for even better performance on the most demanding job sites. Fleet managers and individuals requiring uncompromising strengths will find the new models indispensable. The RAM 1500 Ramcharger The 2025 RAM 1500 Ramcharger combines legendary RAM performance, off-road prowess, and innovative features. Built with the STLA frame body-on-frame, the special edition's 250-kilowatt and 238-kilowatt EDMs can deliver 663 horsepower and tow up to 14,000 lbs. You won't need to worry about finding suitable charge locations, as the Ramcharger comes with its own generator. The Exciting Off-Road Truck Lineup RAM is taking off-roading to new heights in the new year with its assortment of light—and heavy-duty adventure-ready trucks. New additions to the RAM family of trailblazers include the RHO, with its outstanding ground clearance of 11.8 inches, and the limited edition Rebel X, released to celebrate the Rebel's 10th year on the market. The lineup's heavy-duty representatives, the 2500 Power Wagon and Heavy Duty Rebel were engineered for adventure with features like locking differentials and powder-coated skid plates. The 6.4L HEMI V-8 engine powers both models, and the ​Heavy Duty Rebel can ​tow up to 16,870. Visit Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Gaylord in Gaylord, MI, to explore the future of driving.

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. 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.

The Wrangler has long been conquering off-road adventures, beginning with its military origins, which gave Jeep lots of time to figure out the most efficient way to handle rough terrain. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler reaps the advantages of that extensive experience with outdoor exploration. Design While the 2024 Wrangler's design is classic, its many possible configurations make it one of the most customizable SUVs on the road.

You can have a four-seater two-door model or a four-door model with five seats.

Although the Sport trim is fairly basic, Jeep has provided standard features to make even the lengthiest road trips easier and a lot more comfortable.

You'll find driver's fatigue noticeably reduced on long journeys thanks to the 6-way adjustable driver's seat with manual lumbar support.

Performance The 2024 Wrangler shines brightest when you take it off the pavement, and 4-wheel drive is standard so you can go off-road whenever you feel like it.
