You're stuck in traffic on a sweltering day and when you turn on the AC for relief, you get a blast of warm air! Well, you're in good company, as almost every driver has experienced their car AC not working. Luckily, if you're in Highland Park, MI, you have a friendly Dodge dealer who can fix it for you. more How your AC Works Your car's AC contains refrigerant, a chemical that in its gaseous state absorbs and holds heat, and in its liquid state it expels heat. A compressor forces the liquid refrigerant under pressure into a condenser. The expansion valve on the condenser turns the refrigerant into a cold gas. This gas then passes through an evaporator which absorbs the heat inside your vehicle. As the refrigerant gas absorbs heat, a fan blows across the evaporator and chills the air released into your car's cabin. A drier captures any moisture in the air, and the refrigerant is recirculated to the compressor to start the process again. Why My AC Isn't Working Now There are five main reasons for AC failure, and our experienced technicians can repair all of them. Electrical Issues There are several possible causes of an electrical failure, including a blown fuse, a failed switch, or even a problem with the AC control module. Electrical issues are usually easy to diagnose and fix. If they are not repaired, however, they can lead to acid buildup and potentially more serious damage to your AC. Leaking Refrigerant Over time, rubber seals and hoses can wear and loosen. If this happens, refrigerant gas will leak out of the system and your AC will no longer work properly. In addition, moisture can mix with the refrigerant, and form an acid that can permanently damage your cooling system. Compressor Problem If the compressor fails, it will no longer circulate refrigerant. This is a fairly common problem and is usually caused by not engaging the AC over the cooler days of fall and winter. A second possible issue is that the switch inside the compressor may have become stuck in the "off" position. Condenser Problem The condenser depressurizes, cools, and liquifies humid air from the compressor. If it fails, however, you will notice your AC no longer works efficiently. Another potential problem is that the condenser can develop a leak due to age or damage. Broken Cooling Fans The cooling fans circulate cold air, but damage, a blown fuse or an electrical short may cause them to stop working. If that happens, your cooling system will fail. This is usually a simple problem to fix, as the broken parts are easily replaceable. If you experience any problem with your AC, give us a call right away at Bill Snethkamp CDJR. Our highly-qualified technicians will repair your AC and have it running smoothly again in no time. We pride ourselves in making sure your vehicle always stays in excellent condition.

You know your Dodge or Ram truck is in excellent condition when you only have to make a simple stop for gas and get on the road again. But what if you start noticing some warning signs that your radiator needs a repair? What are the symptoms of a bad radiator? Here are six different signs to look out for that indicate your vehicle needs radiator repair at your Dodge dealer or Ram dealer: more 1) Your Vehicle Is Overheating This is probably the most common sign that your radiator needs to be repaired or replaced. If you're driving along and all of a sudden, your engine begins running much hotter than usual, it's time for a check-up and possible repair. Overheated engines can cause many problems like warped cylinder heads, blown head gaskets, and even warped manifolds. When the engine overheats to this point, it can cause severe damage if not repaired quickly. 2) Your Vehicle Is Running Rough Another sign that your Dodge or Ram truck may need to see the mechanic is if the vehicle begins running rough, either idling roughly or bucking erratically while at speed. Even if you've recently had your fuel filter replaced, this could indicate a problem with the radiator or hoses. 3) You Have Low Coolant Levels If you've recently filled up your radiator with fresh coolant but can't find any leaks, air pockets may be trapped in your cooling system preventing the fluid from circulating. This could create "hot spots" in the engine that are running hotter than usual. Low coolant levels are also a sign of big problems if left unattended for too long, so have your vehicle checked out by your dealer as soon as possible. 4) The Radiator Is Leaking If you notice small drips under your car when you park or a puddle of fluid in the morning, it could be time to replace your radiator. In severe cases, a bad radiator will constantly leak and cause irreversible damage if not fixed immediately. 5) The Radiator Fan Is Not Working If you notice that your engine is overheating regularly, have your dealership check your radiator fan. The engine control module can detect when the temperature rises and sends electrical pulses to the radiator fan. If you notice that this is no longer working, it could be time for replacement or repair since most modern cooling systems require both parts to work together. 6) Your Radiator Cap Is Broken or Missing A broken or missing radiator cap can cause problems with overheating and coolant flow through your engine. This should be replaced immediately to avoid further damage to other parts of your cooling system. Don't try to fix this problem on your own; it needs to be checked by a professional. The last thing you want is to stress the cooling system even further by using a replacement radiator cap that doesn't have the right specs or pressure rating. If you're experiencing any of these signs, don't wait to get that radiator checked! Get in touch with Bill Snethkamp CDJR today. We can help diagnose the problem and fix it for you fast, so your vehicle is back on the road as soon as possible.

It's no wonder that Detroit and Highland Park, MI are national centers for boating. There's so much water nearby, including two Great Lakes, numerous large rivers, and many, many other smaller bodies of water. There's a long and venerable nautical history here too, with everything from prohibition rumrunners to Allied landing craft having been built on these shores. Read on for our list of the best spots to get on the water nearby. more 1. Lake St. Claire Lake St Claire is the quintessential lake in the Detroit area, and for good reason. The numerous islands, channels, and bays are a joy to explore, but make sure to keep a close eye out! Not only are over 150,000 other pleasure boats registered on the lake, but over 3,000 freighters a year pass through the ship canals to and from Lakes Huron and Erie. Luckily, the lake is large enough that there's very little danger, and plenty of space to drop a line, which is a must as the lake was rated as the world's best bass fishing lake by Bassmasters back in 2013. Head to Mitchell's Bay, a small community located on the lake's eastern shore, that has some of the best fishing in all of North America. 2. Lake Erie Located a little south of Detroit, Lake Eerie is a wonderful lake to launch your boat on and is very easy to access, with lots of launch ramps that make it easy to get out on the water. The lake has a maximum depth of over 210 feet and can get very choppy when the wind picks up, so make sure to check the weather forecast first. However, don't worry, the lake is usually very calm, with beautifully smooth and clear water. Lake Erie is a popular fishing spot and is famous for the Lake Erie walleye, which is currently enjoying a record population boom. Head to one of the lake's 24 beautiful islands for a memorable day out, where you'll find secluded swimming spots, great beaches, and space for any watersport you can think of. 3. Lake Huron Smaller than Lake Erie, Lake Huron can be reached by water from Lake St Claire, making a tour of all three lakes a possibility. Over 30,000 islands dot the lake, mostly on the Canadian side of the lake's northern reaches, where it connects to Lake Michigan to the west. Don't despair, however, as there's plenty to explore further south, and the fishing is splendid wherever you can drop a line. Chinook salmon, pike, and catfish can be found at every turn. If you're happy to hop across the border to Canada (the border runs down the center of the lake) heading to Grand Bend, a boater-friendly destination with modern marinas and seemingly endless festivals all year round. Have we missed your favorite spot to take a boat? Then you'd better come and tell us! Pay us a visit at Bill Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today. Image by Albrecht Fietz from Pixabay | CC BY CO

Getting your oil changed is essential for the health of your engine. If you continue to put off your oil change, the health of your motor will be compromised severely. Today, we're looking at how often you should schedule a RAM oil change. more However, filling up more often is the least of your problems. Eventually, excessive wear and tear will occur because the moving parts that make up your motor will not be lubricated adequately. If you continue to put off your oil change, your engine components will need to be replaced. Eventually, your engine may even fail. Do not put off your regular oil changes. Stick to the recommended maintenance schedule. How Often Should I Get My Oil Changed? You should get your motor oil changed every three months or 5,000 miles. However, if you drive in severe conditions regularly, you need to come in every 3,000 miles for an oil change. On the other hand, you may come in for an oil change every 10,000 to 12,500 miles if you use synthetic motor oil. Is Synthetic Motor Oil Worth the Extra Cost? Synthetic motor oil is absolutely worth the extra cost. First, it saves you money because you can go 2.5 to 3.3 times longer between oil changes. However, saving time and money on oil changes isn't the only benefit of choosing synthetic motor oil. Greater Engine Protection One of the reasons you can go longer between oil changes when you opt for synthetic motor oil is it protects your motor better than conventional motor oil. One of the reasons this is the case is it maintains its viscosity regardless of its temperature. Conventional motor oil is only effective after your motor has warmed up to normal operating temperature. When it is cold, it is too thick to flow freely and protect the moving parts that make up your engine. On the other hand, synthetic motor oil is thin enough to protect your engine even when your engine hasn't reached optimal operating temperature. Also, synthetic motor oil doesn't get too thin to provide adequate protection when your engine gets very hot. If you can't remember the last time you brought your RAM in for an oil change, you have probably driven over 5,000 miles. Contact us today at Bill Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Highland Park to schedule your oil change to improve your fuel efficiency and protect the health of your motor.

You Have a Fluid Leak Transmission fluid smells sweet and is red in color. If you spot a puddle of this near your vehicle, then you know it's time to pay us a visit.

That's a sure way to catch a leak in its early days, and you can get it fixed before you lose too much of the fluid. 4. Noisy Neutral New noises in neutral indicate that you most likely have a problem with your transmission. This noise can indicate an array of issues, so you need to get to us as fast as possible.
