Regardless of the season, failing to maintain your truck can cost you a lot of time and money later on down the road. Whether you rely on your truck to perform your job or plan to take your partner on the road trip of their life, keep reading to discover three summer maintenance tips from your local RAM dealer. more 1. Check Your Tire Pressure One of the most important maintenance steps to take this summer is checking your tire pressure regularly. As temperatures increase in July and August in the Montpelier area, so does the pressure in your RAM's tires. The air in your tires expands as the tires heat up; a blowout can occur if the tire is overinflated. It's also possible for underinflated tires to explode. 2. Have Your Engine Belts Inspected Another important step to take this summer is bringing your truck in for an inspection. Regardless of what you use your truck for, the motor works hard. To help ensure continuous powerful performance, have a certified RAM mechanic check your engine belts for normal wear and tear, cracks, and tears. The sooner a problem is detected and corrected, the more time and money you'll save down the road. Your engine belts may require replacement. 3. Check Your Cooling System A tire blowout isn't the only thing that can leave you stranded on the side of a hot road this summer. Your truck can also break down due to overheating. To mitigate this risk, check your cooling system's fluid levels and ratios. The most important fluid level to check is the coolant level. Coolant is the fluid that keeps your motor running at its optimal operating temperature. If your motor gets too hot, many things can happen. It may start shuddering and limping toward your destination. However, if it gets extremely hot, the high pressure from your overheated engine can crack your radiator. It's also possible for your engine to fail. Also, make sure there isn't too much water in your antifreeze. Your air conditioning won't work properly if your antifreeze is too watered down. Adhering to your truck's maintenance schedule this summer is crucial for helping it operate smoothly and safely. If it's been a few months since your truck was last serviced, book a service appointment at Liberty Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Montpelier, ID. Image via
