Old Battery

The battery ages like any other component, and this causes it to weaken. The sulfuric acid, which is a crucial part of the battery’s ability to store electricity, gradually breaks down. As this happens, the electricity storage capacity reduces, and, eventually, the battery won’t be able to store a sufficient charge to power the starter.

The average life of a battery is three to five years, although this can be reduced due to electrical issues and climatic conditions. When your battery is three years old, we advise testing it. Our computerized battery tester can quickly give you a heads-up on the battery condition and potential remaining life. If your battery is weakening, we can replace it in minutes.

Battery Warning Light

The warning lights on your dash are invaluable, as they will warn you of any issue affecting your particular system. The battery warning light specifically relates to the battery, alternator, and electrical system. If any of the sensors in the electrical system detect a problem, they warn your computer, and the battery warning light will illuminate.

A failing battery will trigger this light if its voltage output drops below 12.5 volts. Corroded terminals, worn wiring, and low battery recharging rates will also cause this light to light up. Our technicians will connect your computer to our diagnostic system to identify the problem area. Once the source of trouble has been pinpointed, we’ll repair it.

Recharging Problems

Power used by the battery must be replaced, and the alternator begins the recharging process as soon as your engine is running. An older battery has a reduced recharging capacity, as we saw above, but a worn alternator, damaged wires, and other issues can also prevent the battery from charging sufficiently. Since a battery uses a fixed amount of power to start your engine, it will fail very quickly if this electricity isn’t replaced.

We’ll examine your electrical system and identify the recharging issue. Once that problem is fixed, we’ll test your battery to ensure it’s still in good condition. If your battery is still healthy, we’ll recharge it. If it’s been damaged, we’ll install a new one while you wait.

If you suspect your battery could be failing, contact our service department today at Freedom CDJR by Ed Morse in Sherman, TX. Our CDJR-trained technicians will have the problem fixed in no time.

Your Tire Treads Are Overly Worn

The treads on your tires help your vehicle maintain traction on the road, particularly in wet, challenging conditions. As a general rule of thumb, you should replace your tires if the tread is less than 2/32 of an inch. But how can you tell when your treads have reached that level of wear? Our service team can inspect your tires and make a recommendation about when it’s time for replacement tires.

The penny test, which can be easily conducted at home, is another great way of gauging your tire tread depth. Simply place a penny into your tire tread with Lincoln’s head pointing toward the center of the tire. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, that means your treads are too worn, and it’s time to schedule an appointment to have replacement tires placed on your car.

Your Tires Have Cracks or Bulges

While the penny test is a great measure of your tread depth, it’s also important to visually inspect the overall tire to determine its fitness. Can you see any holes or cracks in the sides of your tires? What about bulges or bubbles in the tire sidewalls?

Any time you see bulges, gouges, cracks, or other visible signs of damage on your tires, it’s time to have them inspected by a professional. These types of wear and tear can leave your tire vulnerable to a blowout.

Your Tires Are Old

Even if your tire treads are still deep and your tires are showing no visible signs of deterioration, you may still need to replace them. That’s because tires don’t last forever, and old tires eventually need to be replaced. Manufacturers typically recommend that tires be replaced every six to 10 years. So if it’s been a while since you last purchased tires, it may be time to buy a replacement set.

Your Tires Keep Deflating

It’s normal for tires to deflate slowly over time. That’s why it’s important to check your tire pressure regularly to ensure that they’re properly inflated. But if your tires seem to continually lose air, or if they seem to deflate without warning, you may have a small leak or a hole that needs repair. It’s also possible that your tires are in need of replacement.

The friendly professionals in our service department can inspect, repair, and replace your tires. When you’re ready to schedule your next service appointment, give us a call at Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram North by Ed Morse in Sherman, TX.

Your car’s radiator serves the vital function of cooling the coolant as it draws heat from the engine, thereby preventing overheating. If the radiator suffers a fault, you’ll soon see the temperature gauge on your dashboard shoot up. Given how disastrous overheating can be to any car’s engine, it’s important to know the key symptoms of a malfunctioning radiator, as laid out below. You can have your radiator repaired or replaced at your local CDJR dealership.

Rust-Colored Coolant

Most modern radiators have aluminum oxide coating on the inside that’s resistant to rust but can still gradually corrode. Modern coolant also has anti-corrosion properties, but if your coolant grows old and loses these qualities, the aluminum coating can deteriorate. This eventually exposes the metal beneath, which is more susceptible to rust.  If your radiator develops internal rust, you’ll see the coolant turning a murky rust-brown inside the coolant reservoir. 

Externally Rusting Radiator

Radiators can also rust on the outside, which is easier to spot. If you notice minor patches of rust on your radiator, clean it with a good anti-rust product. More extensive rust, however, might spell the end for the radiator; you’ll need to install a new one. 

Leaking Coolant

It’s possible for various points on the radiator to spring a leak. This includes the radiator cap, the drain plug, and especially the pan gasket. As coolant is pressurized and expands when drawing heat from the engine, all radiator seals and connections need to be extremely tight. If your radiator ever leaks coolant, you might notice a brightly colored fluid puddling underneath your car; there may also be air bubbles inside the coolant reservoir. 

Damaged Radiator Fins

The many fins of a radiator create a great deal of surface area, which allows heat to escape efficiently. However, these slender fins are also susceptible to damage if stones fly into the engine compartment or there’s any kind of hard jolt or impact. If your radiator’s fins become bent or broken, you’ll probably need to replace the radiator. 

Overheating Engine

The final and most serious indication of radiator problems is the engine overheating. If you notice the temperature gauge flicking upward, ticking and knocking sounds, plummeting engine power, or white vapor seeping from under the hood, pull over immediately before your engine seizes up. 

Ask Your CDJR Dealer for a Pressure Test and Radiator Repair

It’s advisable to arrange periodic inspections of your radiator and the entire cooling system. A trusted technician at your local dealership can inspect the coolant and hoses, inspect the whole radiator, and also pressure test the system to check for a malfunctioning water pump, seal, or hose connection. If they find a fault, they can repair or replace the radiator as required. 

Visit Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram North By Ed Morse in Sherman, TX, today to have your radiator serviced by experienced professionals. Our award-winning, family-owned dealership has been diligently serving the region’s drivers for decades.
