When you’re driving along in your RAM truck, and suddenly there’s a weird sound or smell, or it just starts acting funny, this creates a sense of dread. In addition to the possibility that an extensive repair will put your pickup out of commission for a while, there’s the expense to consider. This is why regular RAM maintenance is so essential.
Why it Pays to be Proactive About Service
The best way to keep your truck running well is with routine service using genuine Mopar® parts like motor oil, batteries, brake pads, and more. If you neglect these things, you increase the chances of things wearing out much faster.
What to do if Your Truck Needs a Repair
If something is wrong with your truck, take these three steps:
Note of the Problem
Some issues will be consistent every time you turn your vehicle on. In other cases, the symptoms — a noise, a change in handling, or an unusual sensation — may occur only under certain circumstances, like a specific speed or in a particular drive train mode. Make a note of these, so it’s easier for a technician to replicate and diagnose the problem.
Get to Safety
On the other hand, issues like brake failure or problems with power steering could render the vehicle unsafe to operate. If this is the case, find a safe place to pull over and call for a tow.
