As others said you need a LED flasher for your truck. An LED bulb doesn't pull enough resistance to let the stock flasher know a bulb is there. The other way to fix this is to install a resister inline with the bulb. Those are your two options.

Got hired today as a bouncy/jump castle delivery person. Now I can finally utilize my truck other than just for offroading. And flushed the brake fluids and checked the tranny. Tranny oil sure is looking old.

Drove it on the roads today, 6" of snow on top of packed and half melted snow made them hard to travel on. The RAM took it all in stride with only 2WD. Can't beat a Dodge for "offroading"...

Thought I screwed something up today on the Ram...

Was coming home, up the same hill in my video from yesterday, without chains, normally I would drop down to 2nd gear, gives a little more under the peddle without having to use so much of it, but accidentally hit 1st, it spun and spun, got almost all the way up but it finally gave up.

Backed up and hit 2nd this time, got up.

But I made something very unhappy on the first try as my brake and ABS light were on. Turned the truck off, restarted, and the lights didn't come back

Strange.

It was probably just annoyed about wheel spin. You have 2 or 4wal?

^ I went with the AutoZone pump, lifetime warranty, no issues in over 2 years.

No clue. Forgot about the Canada thing. Expect it to the much more expensive... I think I paid just less than $50.
