You’ve survived another East Coast winter, which means it’s a great time to catch up on any regular RAM service and maintenance you’ve neglected. Follow these quick tips, then bring your truck in to Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM for a complete check-up and inspection to be ready for the warm months ahead.
Check Your Tires
Winter is tough on tires, with ice, snow, and other debris knocking them out of alignment and cold temperatures playing havoc with tire pressure. As the weather warms up, use a pressure gauge to test if your tires are within the range recommended by your owner’s manual. While you’re checking, perform the penny test to find out if your tires have enough tread for the months ahead.
Take It for a Spin
Taking your RAM truck for a spin around the neighborhood can help identify problems for our team to fix. While you’re driving, pay attention to any unusual smells or sounds that the engine emits and to handling when slowing down. If your car regularly pulls to one side, especially when braking, it’s time for your system to have a tune-up.
Test Your Battery
Batteries are famous for dying at the worst time during the winter, but summer is just as hard on your battery’s performance. That makes spring the time to have your battery’s capacity tested. In addition to reducing capacity, hot weather can evaporate battery fluids, making it especially important to ensure it’s working its best now.
