Buying a used Ram, Jeep, Dodge, or Chrysler is a smart move, but one homework step gets skipped most: checking for open safety recalls before you sign. No law requires a used-car seller to tell you, so the responsibility falls on the buyer. The good news is checking takes two minutes, costs nothing, and the repair is free at any CDJR dealer. Service Manager Brady Forst walks through how to run the VIN, what an open recall really means, and how Jay Malone CDJR handles recalls on every used vehicle.

Jay Malone CDJR in Hutchinson, MN doesn't perform EGR deletes, DPF deletes, or tune deletes on 6.7L Cummins pickup trucks. Service Manager Brady walks through what changed in January 2026 with the federal DOJ enforcement shift, why deletes still violate the Clean Air Act, what they do to your factory warranty and resale value, and what we recommend instead when a Ram HD owner brings us a legitimate regen, DEF, or HPCR complaint. Honest read from a former diesel owner-operator.

Wondering how often to change the oil in your Jeep, Ram, Dodge, or Chrysler? Our Service Manager Brady Forst recommends every 5,000 miles regardless of oil type - more conservative than the 7,500-10,000-mile owner's manual interval, but the right interval for central Minnesota driving. Cold starts, short trips, and salt-treated roads qualify as severe-duty conditions year-round. Engine-by-engine breakdown for Pentastar, HEMI, Hurricane, EcoDiesel, and 4xe. Schedule at 320-587-4748.
