What is the most common problem with RAM trucks?

Front suspension wear (ball joints and tie rods) and exhaust manifold bolt failure on HEMI engines are common issues.

Do RAM 1500s have transmission problems?

Some 8-speed units develop pan leaks, while older 545RFE units may experience valve body wear. Regular transmission service prevents failure.

Are Cummins RAM trucks reliable?

Yes, but they require proper diesel maintenance, especially for DEF systems, turbo components, and front suspension wear.

How often should I service my RAM truck?

Follow factory intervals, but heavy towing requires more frequent brake, suspension, and transmission inspections.

Where can I find the best RAM mechanic near me?

Dale’s Auto Service provides expert RAM repair and service for all models in the Lower Mainland.

  Just got a CORSA Sport cat-back exhaust installed on my Cadillac Escalade at Dales Auto Service. The exhaust sounds amazing aggressive, and clean without being too much. The install was done professionally and everything came out perfect. Really happy with the service and the final result. Highly recommend Dales Auto Service!

  I only trust dales for a proper assessment of anything that is wrong with my truck. I had gone to the dealer a week before and the amount of things they missed was shocking.  They really do take the time to give a proper report and provide the correct and full diagnosis the first time .  Highly recommend dales to everyone.

  My wife had obtained two estimates on her Subaru to get bering work done which seemed a bit high and work that was not required was included in both. I suggested she try Dale’s and she was at their quick response and price. The work was performed by Dale’s to her complete satisfaction. We will both be getting our work done there in the future. Happy customers, Elfie & Gary

  Had a issue with my car after I lowered it and added a few other parts. I needed to get it done asap because i had my dads celebration of life fast approaching and needed it fixed asap. I was able to get it in rite away and they were able to find the issue, install some parts I had and get the alignment done all before my trip. After the work was done the techs that fixed it spent a few mins telling me what they had to do to get it fixed and suggestions on other things I could do to help with a bit of rubbing i was having. Friendly staff and quality work.

Brake Service FAQ

1. How often should RAM truck brakes be serviced?

Most RAM trucks need brake service every 30,000–60,000 km, depending on towing, driving style, and load. Heavy-duty/diesel towing reduces lifespan.

2. Do RAM trucks require special brake pads?

Yes—RAM 2500/3500 and towing packages often need heavy-duty or high-temperature pads. We install OEM-grade parts for maximum safety.

3. Why do my RAM brakes vibrate or pulsate?

Warped rotors, seized calipers, or uneven wear are common causes. Our technicians diagnose the issue and correct it properly.

4. Can you service my RAM truck if it’s part of a fleet?

Absolutely. We offer fleet maintenance programs with preferential scheduling and reporting.

5. Do EVs and hybrids need brake service too?

Yes—regenerative braking reduces wear but doesn’t eliminate it. Corrosion, hydraulics, and calipers still require maintenance.

Disk Brake Service

A disc brake is a type of brake that uses calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc in order to create friction that slows the rotation of the wheel(s)….more

Drum Brake Service

The drum brake may look complicated, and it can be pretty intimidating when you open one up. Let’s break it down and explain what each piece does.

Like the disc brake, the drum brake has two brake shoes and a piston. But the drum brake also has an adjuster mechanism, an emergency brake mechanism and lots of springs…more

Brake Fluid Flush

Brake fluid is possibly the single most neglected component of the automobile.

Most high performance drivers check their tire pressures and change their engine oil at frequent intervals, but virtually no one ever changes the brake fluid in their street car.

Brake fluid will not be able to handle the heat when it is contaminated…more

Abs diagnostic service dales auto service

ABS/STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM

Most vehicles come standard with ABS and some level of traction control, while others include optional stability and roll-over mitigation systems.

Failing to properly repair these systems can put the driver at risk, especially in vehicles with a high center of gravity.

If the ABS light is on, request diagnostic time to identify and resolve the issue…more
