Your Ram Truck Maintenance Schedule: Keeping Your Ram Truck in Top Shape

At the 10,000 miles or one-year mark, whichever comes first, your Ram truck should receive routine maintenance. This includes an oil and filter change, along with a full inspection of your braking system. Technicians will check brake pad thickness, inspect rotors for wear, and evaluate overall brake performance.

Additional checks include tire condition and pressure, fluid levels, and a visual inspection of key components under the hood. This visit also includes resetting your service indicators and ensuring all essential systems are operating as intended. After the first year, you’ll want to keep this up every 10,000 miles.

At the 20,000-mile or two-year mark, it’s time for more comprehensive service. This includes inspecting the battery, checking the brake fluid level and condition, and evaluating suspension components, such as shocks and struts, for signs of wear or leaks.

Technicians will also inspect the cooling system, drivetrain components, and engine systems for any signs of damage or leaks. All exterior lighting components, including headlights, brake lights, and turn signals, are tested to ensure full visibility and safety on the road.

We’ll perform a tire inspection to evaluate tread wear and alignment. Your windshield wipers and washer system will also be checked, and we may take a test drive to assess overall performance, including steering, braking, and ride quality.

At 30,000 miles, and again at 50,000, 70,000, and 90,000 miles, your Ram truck will receive the same routine service as the 10,000-mile interval, along with a few additional items depending on your model and drivetrain.

For four-wheel-drive trucks, the transfer case and differential fluids may be inspected or replaced to maintain performance. We may also recommend brake fluid service at this interval to keep your brakes functioning properly.

At 40,000 miles, your Ram truck will undergo a more thorough inspection in addition to standard maintenance services. This includes checking suspension and steering components such as ball joints, tie rods, and wheel bearings for wear or damage.

Technicians will inspect the exhaust system, underbody, and frame for any signs of corrosion or damage. They’ll also test interior and exterior lighting systems, as well as cabin features such as power outlets and controls.

The engine air filter and cabin air filter are typically replaced at this interval to maintain air quality and engine efficiency. Belts and hoses are also inspected to ensure long-term reliability.

At 60,000 and 100,000 miles, your Ram truck will receive standard maintenance services with additional attention to long-term performance components. This includes replacing the engine air filter as needed and cleaning related components to maintain airflow.

Depending on your engine and model, spark plugs and transmission fluid may also be replaced to help preserve engine performance and smooth shifting. These milestone services are key to extending the life of your truck and preventing expensive repairs down the road.
