2015 Silverado rear bumper on a 2nd Gen Ram
I like the look of the Silverado rear bumper on the second gen Rams. Anyone ever done this? Curious what mods have to be made to the brackets. From what I've read, it's supposedly "very simple". I asked the guy that posted the pic on Instagram, but no reply.- Dtfanning

Check gauges light
Turns out it was low on oil....which is something new and a bit concerning. I could have swore there was a dedicated Oil Light that would have lit up for a low oil issue.- Dtfanning

Check gauges light
When I apply the brakes to say, stop at a red light, about 2 out of 5 times my "Check Gauges" light comes on. It dings a couple of times, then the light goes off. Nothing looks out of the ordinary as far as what the gauges are registering for oil pressure, battery voltage, etc. Any ideas? It...- Dtfanning

How many miles to a tank you get?
Its the low fuel light, not the check engine light you are seeing. Nothing is wrong with the truck, at least, its not throwing any codes. And I drive it easy. Not sure what the heck is going on with it. By comparison, I seem to be getting much worse mileage than most, unfortunately.- Dtfanning

Changed spark plugs, and all heck breaks loose.
Well, after replacing plugs, and wires and still having the issue, turns out the back side of distributor cap was cracked. Obviously, wasn't easy to see, but felt it when I rubbed the back side of the cap. Replaced it, and all is well. What a crazy couple of days. Geez. Its like Dodge said...- Dtfanning

Yes, I pulled all wires one at a time, and I pulled them by the boot. Regardless, I just finished replacing the plug wires with new ones. Problem is probably 50% better, but definitely not back to normal. Im stumped I guess I'll take it to the shop.- Dtfanning

My 1999 Ram 1500, with 5.9L and 51k miles was running just fine. It bought a new air filter for it, and while I was at the parts store, I thought I may as well get some spark plugs for it, seeing as the original spark plugs were still installed. Get home, pop in the air filter, and change the...- Dtfanning

Cheapest way to calibrate speedometer
Want to ask again, you mentioned printing the page from the FSM and handing it to them and say "do this". But, I dont see how to calibrate the speedometer due to tire size in the manual. Am I just overlooking it?- Dtfanning
