Hello, just joined. After 3 year search, I located the truck I wanted... A 5.7, 2015 off-white, longhorn, 6.6' bed with tan/brown interior with 30k miles. I found this truck in Idaho and drove from Utah to get it. Didn't know at the time I bought it, but it was a Canadian truck. I learned soon afterward one disadvantage, US dealers will not warranty this truck even with low miles being mfg in Canada So here I am with a couple of questions and one comment that I hope will find answers to.
First my comment: I was very surprised to find a WRONG GUAGE installed in the instrument cluster, obviously from the factory. Instead of an amp gauge showing the charge of the battery, I have in its place a second water temp gauge. Has anyone experienced this? My understanding is the whole cluster needs to be replaced, approx 600 for the cluster and another 3-400 in labor.
1st Q. The driver's door lock recently stopped working both by FOB and by the door panel. Is this an easy fix? What is entailed to make the repair?
2ns Q. I've had the truck for almost one year now. An oil change is coming soon. I am assuming one resets the mileage on the instrument cluster to reflect a new oil life. However, if you are using an oil that touts a longer interval change than what the computer default is set to, can this be changed to reflect the additional mileage before the next oil change?
Well, that's about it for the moment. I appreciate your time in reading my issues and more if you are able to reply. In spite of the issues, including a leaking left rear airbag, I LOVE MY RAM and how it rides.... However, I was not too crazy about the dealer I bought it from though, "Goodie Ford" in Burley ID. who neglected to tell me about the air leak which becomes noticeable after a week of sitting.
