if you have a dodge truck what are things you need to look for when getting maintenance check?

Question

what is needed to be check to make sure a dodge truck is running smoothly?

Answer 1

I don't know how in depth your maintenance check is going to be, are looking to buy the truck, or just doing a check while filling the gas tank?
If you're buying the truck, you want to check oil pressure, have the engine put on a "scope" where a mechanic can check for differences in cylinder power and if it has a loose timing chain. He can also check the carburetor while on the scope by checking fuelair mixture.
If you are looking to buy, take it to a knowledgeable mechanic that you trust.

Answer 2

if you are doing a tune-up or just scheduled maintenance, your maintenance schedule in with your owners manual should tell you what to check at certain mileages. and if it dosent have that then i would go with what badbill1941 was saying and check all of the safety things.

Answer 3

The bigggest thing is the transmission. Dodge trucks have bad transmissions, so you might want to have them service that too.

Answer 4

Have your tune up condition checked, fluids, filters, brakes, suspension, etc. In other words, have all safety items checked.

Answer 5

If you follow the owners manual, you will be doing good.
