Trusted Ram Truck Repair in Shepherdsville
Ram trucks are built to work hard — towing, hauling, commuting, and handling tough Kentucky roads. But even the most durable trucks need regular maintenance and occasional repair to stay reliable.
At Capital Tire and Muffler, we’ve been the trusted truck mechanic in Shepherdsville since 1989. Ram trucks are a regular part of our daily work, and our technicians understand the engines, drivetrains, and systems that power them.
From Hemi V8s to Cummins diesels and modern towing packages, we know what it takes to keep your Ram performing at its best — without dealership pricing.

Common Ram Truck Problems We Repair
Ram trucks are strong, but like any vehicle, they develop wear over time. Here are the most common issues we handle:
- Hemi exhaust manifold leaks & lifter noise — Broken manifold bolts, ticking sounds, and valvetrain issues on 5.7L engines
- Transmission problems — Shuddering, hard shifting, and torque converter issues in 8-speed ZF automatics
- Heavy brake wear — Frequent pad and rotor replacement due to towing and vehicle weight
- Air suspension issues — Compressor failure, leaking air bags, and ride height sensor problems
- EcoDiesel engine problems — EGR cooler failure, turbo issues, and emissions system faults
- Cooling system leaks — Water pump and thermostat failures leading to overheating risk
- Front suspension wear — Ball joints, tie rods, and control arms wearing from towing and heavy use
- Exhaust system rust & leaks — Corrosion from road salt affecting pipes, manifolds, and mufflers
