Ram 2500 Repair in Salt Lake City, UT
The Ram 2500 is a heavy-duty workhorse, and the trucks that roll into our South Salt Lake shop are often working trucks — contractors, farmers, and trailer-pullers who put real miles and real loads on them. We service both the 6.4 Hemi gas and 6.7 Cummins diesel variants and know the differences in what each powertrain demands.
Full-Service Ram 2500 Repair — All Generations
We service all Ram 2500 generations at our South Salt Lake shop — gas and diesel, manual and automatic. Every visit starts with a free diagnosis so you know exactly what your truck needs before anything is touched.

Why Ram 2500 Drivers Choose Scott's Auto
Heavy-duty trucks get heavy-duty use, and the Ram 2500 is no exception. At Scott's, we've been working on these trucks long enough to know which components fail first under sustained towing loads, and we stock the parts that actually hold up. You get a straight assessment of what your 2500 needs and what it'll cost — no surprises.
Gas and Diesel Experience
We service the 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins diesel alongside the 5.7 and 6.4 Hemi gas variants. Different powertrains, different failure points — we know both.
Heavy-Duty Brake Expertise
Ram 2500 brake systems face extreme demands from heavy trailer loads on Utah mountain grades. We use brake components rated for the actual weight your truck is pulling.
Clutch Service for NV4500 and G56 Transmissions
Manual Ram 2500 clutch jobs — including the NV4500 and G56 five- and six-speed transmissions — are core work for us. We've done these in every configuration.
Free Diagnosis Before Any Work
No diagnostic fee. We road test, pull codes, and inspect your 2500 before recommending a single repair. You get a written estimate and approve it before we start.
When to Bring Your Ram 2500 In
Ram 2500 trucks that tow regularly and haul heavy loads develop predictable wear patterns that differ from light-duty trucks. At Scott's, we've worked on enough 2500s to know exactly where to look first. If your truck is showing any of the symptoms below, bring it in and we'll tell you what you're dealing with at no charge for the diagnosis.
Clutch Slipping Under Load — Manual 2500s
Manual Ram 2500 trucks that regularly pull loaded trailers can wear through a clutch faster than a shop that's never done a G56 or NV4500 job might expect. Slipping under heavy acceleration, a high engagement point, or difficulty getting into gear are the signs. We carry quality clutch kits for every manual Ram 2500 application.
Learn more →Brake Fade on Mountain Grades
Heavy trailer loads on I-15 grades between Salt Lake and Provo, or on US-6 through Spanish Fork Canyon, put extreme heat into Ram 2500 brakes. When rear brake calipers seize or pads glaze, stopping distances increase dangerously. We inspect the full brake system — front and rear — and replace components with units rated for heavy-duty use.
Learn more →Exhaust Smoke and Check Engine Light — Diesel Models
6.7 Cummins diesel trucks can develop exhaust issues including excessive smoke, EGR-related codes, and catalytic converter or DPF efficiency faults. We diagnose the actual failure point — whether it's the EGR cooler, a boost leak, or a converter issue — before recommending parts replacement.
Learn more →Rough Ride and Body Roll — Worn Shocks
A loaded Ram 2500 is a heavy vehicle, and the factory shocks on high-mileage or heavily-used trucks wear out faster than most owners realize. Excessive body sway while towing, a bouncy ride on rough roads, or a nose-dive under braking all point to shocks that have given up. We replace with quality units rated for the loads your truck actually carries.
Learn more →Squealing or Grinding Brakes
When Ram 2500 brakes squeal or grind, the cause is almost always worn pads — but the underlying question is why they wore prematurely. Seized calipers are a common culprit on trucks that see winter salt exposure and irregular brake use at the rear. We inspect the whole system and replace what needs to be replaced.

Utah's temperature swings, mountain roads, and high altitude put unique demands on your vehicle. Here's what we've learned from years of servicing Ram 2500s in the Salt Lake Valley.
Transmission fluid service on automatic Ram 2500s: if your 2500 tows regularly, the 68RFE and Aisin automatic transmissions run hot. Use transmission temperature as your interval guide, not just mileage. If you don't have a trans temp gauge and you're regularly pulling loaded trailers on Utah mountain grades, service the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles regardless of what the factory schedule says.
Brake inspection before towing season: before you hook up a trailer for the season — whether that's a livestock trailer, a flatbed, or a boat — have the brake system inspected. Utah's mountain passes demand full braking capacity. A seized caliper or glazed pad that barely shows under light use can become a serious problem with 15,000 pounds behind you.
Clutch break-in on manual Ram 2500s: if you've just had a clutch replaced on your 2500, avoid aggressive slip starts and heavy towing for the first 500 miles. The new friction material needs time to seat properly against the flywheel surface. Proper break-in significantly extends clutch life, especially on trucks that are regularly under heavy load.

5-Star Reviews
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from Google — 5 stars across the board
“I had a pretty good experience. They got me in pretty quick. They did work on my 2014 Chevy Tahoe LT — replaced my 2 front oxygen sensors, changed the front windshield washer fluid pump, and did a coolant flush. They allowed me to bring my own parts and coolant, which I really appreciated. Done for a fair price. Would come back.”
“Scott is the best! Finishes the job quickly, prices are competitive, and he has great customer service. I've had nothing but good experiences here. Thanks for the rebuilt engine and install. I will be back for future needs!”
“This was my second time using Scott's. The power steering went out in my truck. Scott got it in that day and had it fixed in a couple of hours. I couldn't recommend this shop more!”
