Car Battery

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.

Alternator Repair near Sherman, TX

Some of your car’s parts can wear out over time, including some of the parts of your alternator. The belt may become misaligned or simply wear out, and you can also experience other problems with the alternator, leading you to need an alternator repair. Your CDJR dealer can handle any of your repair needs with ease, so head straight over when you realize it’s time to get the alternator fixed.

The Car Starts Making New Noises

New sounds cropping up when your vehicle is running are often one of the first signs that there’s something wrong with your car. When the alternator’s drive belt becomes misaligned or starts rubbing, then you’ll probably hear a grounding or whining noise. If the bearings or rotor shaft are malfunctioning, then you may also hear these noises.

The Battery Acts like It’s Dead

A dead battery prevents your car from starting, but your battery won’t always be the real culprit when your car won’t start. If your alternator is having issues, then it may not be charging the battery fully, leading the battery to act like it’s dead. There’s an easy way to tell whether your battery or alternator is the issue here, and it’s by jumpstarting the car.

A dead battery can typically be jumpstarted, and your car will continue to run as normal until you shut off the engine. However, when your alternator isn’t working properly, then your car won’t stay on when you jumpstart the battery. This is because the alternator isn’t charging the battery, so the car is just going to turn itself off all over again.

The Electrical Components Malfunction

Your car’s interior and exterior lights, as well as all of the accessories such as the power windows and USB ports, are powered by your battery. When your battery isn’t being charged properly by the alternator, then these parts will start to malfunction. The headlights will probably get dim and flicker, and the lights on your dashboard may even get dimmer, too.

The Engine May Smelt Strange

It’s generally a good idea to pop the hood every few weeks and take a peek at what’s going on under it to ensure everything looks okay. If you pop the hood and notice a burning smell coming from the engine, then your alternator or drive belt may be damaged, requiring a repair immediately.

Our technicians can easily repair your alternator, so visit Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM North by Ed Morse in Sherman, TX if your car lets you know it’s time to get the alternator fixed. You can get in touch with our service department at 903-357-4150.

Like every Ram dealership, we see a lot of great cars and trucks come through our lot. But there’s something about the 2024 Ram 1500 that makes it a dealership favorite. And when we look at the engine lineup for this model year, it’s easy to see why.

Coming in at a substantial eight trim levels, two drivetrains (4×2 and 4×4), two cab configurations (both quad cab and crew cab), two box sizes (5’7″ or 6’4″ long), and three engine sizes, there’s a Ram 1500 for every buyer. But however you choose to configure your 1500, you’ll be settling into a powerhouse of a truck, and each will have plenty of power to accomplish your needs.

The Pentastar 3.6-Liter V6 Doesn’t Disappoint

Clocking in at 305 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, the base engine for the Ram 1500 is a powerhouse in its own right. In fact, this engine trim offers best-in-class Max Available Hybrid Payload of up to 2,300 pounds.

The 5.7-Liter HEMI V8 Takes It To the Next Level

Buyers who choose to upgrade to the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 will be rewarded, first and foremost with additional horsepower and torque. This engine trim offers up to 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.

But that’s not all. When combined with the 98% hardened-steel frame built into every 1500 chassis, the 5.7-liter engine offers best-in-class Available Max Hybrid Towing Capacity of up to 12,750 pounds, making it a towing champion.

Powerful eTorque Technology Makes Everything Better

Ram decided to equip both the 3.6-liter V6 and the 5.7-liter V8 engines with a mild hybrid technology called eTorque. This innovative technology does something pretty unique in the world of hybrids: it manages to improve both performance and fuel efficiency at the same time.

The 6.2-Liter HEMI V8 Is Supercharged for Superb Acceleration

If you think a pickup truck would lose to a muscle car in a zero-to-sixty on ramp race, then you haven’t met this year’s Ram 1500. The 6.2-liter HEMI V8 is exclusive to the TRX trim to the 1500, but it packs a punch that will put a grin on your face as it pushes you back in your seat.

This power plant is the most powerful factory-installed motor in its class. It eschews the eTorque system in favor of a twin-screw supercharger, outputting a head-turning 702 horsepower and heart-pounding 650 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough to catapult the TRX from zero to sixty in just 4.5 seconds, which is better than some “muscle cars” we could name.

A powerhouse like the Ram 1500 has to be experienced to be believed. Schedule your test drive today at Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram North in Sherman, TX.
