Question triangle light on lower right dash?

Hi All
i am new to the dodge family and i just purchased a 94 ram 1500 4wd yesterday. My question is that when i press on the throttle a yellow triangular light comes on in the lower right dash under the guages. Does anybody know what this light means? Any help is appreciated

Thanks alot,
Alex

I am going to assume that the fact that that light comes on, means you have a manual transmission. Those are supposed to be a shift light, made to help you improve your shift points and fuel mileage.

definately a shift light, I shift when the motor is ready, not when the truck tells me to. Lugs through the gears otherwise
