I have a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Tradesman. Had it since roughly June. Love the truck. Figured out my tire issue I was having. Definitely going to consider the Pedal Commander. Tired of the delay when I step on the pedal. One thing I can't find or do not have and can't believe is a water temperature gauge. I can't find it in the diagnostic center and it's not on the gauge cluster. What's up with that. Hate not knowing the water temp.

Wow. This has been one of the roughest weeks of Midnight's I've put in. I just came out to take a pic of my gauge cluster and realized I do have a temp gauge and was going to complain of no oil pressure gauge or dummy light. So let's start over. I cannot seem to find an oil pressure dummy light or anything to do with oil pressure. Sorry for the confusion. I need to go to bed and start over. Lol

You mean it's in the actual diagnostic that you scroll through or a red dummy light because I do not see either one. The only thing I see is oil life, which the way I understand is to tell me when it needs changed and not the actual pressure. I need to find an owner's manual

You haft to cycle through that middle screen to bring up all the other info.
the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel do that.

Back out of where its out now then scroll through the options.

I went to my gauge summary and it only shows coolant temp and transmission temp. Can't get anything else to come up.

That's strange there might be something wrong with it then, or maybe it's just an option in certain trucks

I'm at a loss. I need to schedule the latest recall and ask them what's up.

I just downloaded the manual and it says "oil pressure gauge-if equipped" I read through every function for the EVIC and it's not there. Evidently my truck doesn't have an oil pressure gauge. Never knew that was even an option. I have a recall I need to get done and I'll ask them about it.

I would think that meant an actual gauge....I'd expect the pressure would be in the vehicle info menu of the evic

Look at page 238 of that manual

I read all the EVIC and it still isn't there. Here is what my gauge summary is showing. The next picture is just the oil life. There isn't anything else that has to do with oil anywhere. Ive owned everything from a 1969 GMC truck to this thing and have never seen a vehicle without at least a oil pressure dummy light lol
