Essential RAM Service for Summer

Before your summer escapades get underway, you want to make sure your truck is up to the task. Our RAM service experts at Vaughn Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM have a few tips to help you get your truck ready for all your adventures.

Inspect Your Tires

Cars’ tires are put to the test during Iowa winters. You want to ensure they still have at least 4/32 of an inch of tread so that you know you have the traction and control you need on any terrain. Check your tire pressure, too, because driving on over or underinflated tires can harm your tires.

Replace Your Windshield Wipers

Your windshield wipers can also become brittle over the winter, leaving them prone to breaking. Replacing your windshield wipers and taking a moment to fill up your windshield wiper fluid ensures you can keep your windshield clean and preserve visibility.

Check Your Fluid Levels

There are several fluids in your vehicle that keep it running efficiently. Check your owner’s manual to see when you’re due for a replacement or, at the very least, top them off:

• Engine oil
• Transmission fluid
• Brake fluid
• Power steering fluid
• Refrigerant and coolant

Get Tow-Ready

We know summer often brings about many towing demands, whether you are towing an RV, boat, or jet skis. Check the connections to your trailer and verify that all of your brake lights are working properly. You also want to make sure that you have the appropriate hitch and towing capacity for whatever you are towing.
