A Dodge Truck is up to the heaviest loads and toughest jobs you might have for it - as long as it's taken care of. No vehicle yet built is capable of maintaining itself. Nanotechnology may one day solve that problem, but in the meantime, regular tasks such as tune-ups, oil changes and lube jobs, etc.

will have to be performed by human caretakers. The good news is that a little inexpensive maintenance performed now will save you having to do a LOT of expensive maintenance later.

Case in point: the Dodge Truck Air Filter. This is a vital part of the fuel system, because the fuel needs to be mixed with oxygen in order to burn in the cylinders. Without a proper air filter, the engine would soon suffer damage from particles of dirt, dust and grit. A dirty air filter is better than none at all, and may continue to perform the task of protecting your engine from dust. Ultimately, however, the engine will literally suffocate (actually drown, or become "flooded" from too much liquid fuel). An overly "rich" fuel-air mixture is the result. The engine will idle too quickly and and gas mileage will drop precipitously. Eventually, carbon build-ups that interfere with valve operation will result, leading to many other problems - and that "lot of expensive maintenance" referred to earlier. A new Dodge Truck Air Filter should be installed every time the oil is changed or every three to four thousand miles.
