Brakes, Rotors And More: Brakes
are critical to the people and product inside your Northlake
Ram ProMaster Commercial Chassis Cab. As such, they should be inspected
monthly or during a routine oil change, whichever comes first. It's also
the perfect time to have your Northlake Ram Commercial Service
Technician inspect the parking brake functions to make sure they are
operating according to specifications. A Napleton Pro Tip: Aggressive
driving wears your pads down faster than normal. Spreading the distance
between vehicles ahead of you will allow more time and distance to
gently slow your Ram Commercial Chassis Cab to avoid any contact. This
in turn extends the overall brake life. As always, your mileage may
vary. Contact your Northlake Ram Service Advisor for a brake inspection today.
Transmission Care:Â
The sealed six-speed automatic transmission inside your
Northlake Ram ProMaster Commercial Chassis Cab is a sealed-unit whose
transmission fluid and filter should be changed once every 60,000 miles.
If your ProMaster Commercial Chassis Cab is used in hostile, high heat
environments, it should be changed more frequently. Inspect the A/T
fluid level approximately once a month to insure it's always at the
proper level. Your Ram Commercial Owner's Manual is also
the perfect source for more information. Your Napleton Ram Commercial
service advisor is always available with additional information.
Filtration:
Your new Northlake Ram ProMaster Commercial Chassis Cab is a
super-capable truck that can get you from shop location to job to home
and back again. That's why it deserves to breathe through the best Mopar-approved Air Filter
available. Designed to remove dirt and debris before it has a chance to
enter your engine, it is not something to be trifled with. Your Northlake Ram Commercial Service advisor can procure for you,
the proper Mopar-Approved air filter for your ProMaster Chassis Cab truck.
Effective for approximately 30,000 miles, they should be changed more
frequently if driven in sandy or dusty climates like here in South
Florida. You Northlake Ram ProMaster Service Department will stock the correct filter for all your Ram ProMaster Commercial Chassis Cab needs.
Windshield Wipers:
Nobody likes driving through a fog but without proper functioning
Windshield Wipers, that's essentially what you will be doing. If the
wipers become brittle, dry, cracking or blotchy or just don't work,
what's the point? You may as well be just be stuck on the side of the
road. Smearing, blotchiness, or not even moving the water off the
windshield are just a few clues that your wipers have likely outlived
their useful lives. We recommend changing them every six months for best
results. Your Northlake Ram Commercial service department
stocks the proper windshield wiper set for your Ram ProMaster Commercial Chassis Cab. Â
Spark
Plugs: If your Ram ProMaster is gasoline powered, its spark plugs
should last approximately 100,000-miles before needing a change. If you
are diesel-equipped, all you have to say to yourself is "what spark
plugs?" because your engine doesn't use them. Basically an
"untouchable," you won't need to worry about them for quite a while.
Your Northlake Ram Commercial Service Department can offer Mopar-Approved replacement spark plugs if
needed. Consult your Ram ProMaster Commercial Cargo Van's Owner's
Manual or your Northlake Ram Commercial Service Advisor for
more details.
All-Wheel-Alignment: Proper alignment is
just one way to get long life from your tires. But more than that,
proper alignment helps you steer the car straight, so you aren't
wrenching the steering wheel left or right all the time. Bumps, curbs
and potholes are the general culprits to be avoided. Your Northlake Ram ProMaster Service Department
can get you back on the straight and narrow in no time. Taking care of
vehicle alignment as soon as possible goes a long way toward preventing
premature tire wear. Properly aligned, your Northlake Ram ProMaster Commercial Chassis Cab should
get equal tire wear at all four corners. A Napleton Pro Tip: Always
rotate and balance your tires before having the vehicle realigned.
Follow the rotation diagrams as shown in your ProMaster Owner's Manual and consult with your Napleton Northlake Ram Commercial Service Advisor for more information.
Once a month:
For the continued well-being of your vehicle, your Northlake Ram
ProMaster Commercial service department recommends a periodic check
monitoring the conditions of your Ram Commercial Chassis Cab truck. The
ProMaster Owner's Manual suggests an inspection of tire pressures, engine oil levels, excessive tire wear. A quick inspection of the washer fluid level, coolant, and brake master cylinder fluid
levels, as well as all interior and exterior lights, will insure you
are ready for a big road trip, or just a regular day of work. Questions?
