Hey navyr6, what did you find out about the leveling? My left side sits lower than the right. Probably by about 1/2 to 3/4". Didn't start out that way but happened after a few hundred miles.

The other question is on your EVIC, do you now have the option to turn the fuel saver light off and on as well in the setup menu? It is near the bottom of the list of options I believe.

 

i was wondering about that. mine doesnt have it, but i would like it. i checked for a cluster update--none yet. seeing how the light was added a few months into production, i had a feeling they changed the cluster somehow. now im gonna pay extra attention to mine, look for anything that isnt right.

 

Mine sits like yours too. I always believed it was because the 32 gallon tank is on that side. I don't know that for sure. I'm pretty sure my Dakota hung low on the drivers side too.

 

Thought about the tank. I've got the 34 gallon tank also. Checked tonight to verify and it was 1/2" low tank side.

There was a thread on DT about the springs. Some guys have different ones left and right, some the same. Supposably there are 12 different ones in the parts catalog for the various trucks.

Ive got a 4X4 Hemi Quad Cab, 34 gal tank, and tow package.

haven't heard anything yet about the truck sitting off-level, but i'll ask next time i'm in the dealership. as for turning the fuel saver light on/off, i'll check next time i'm in the truck and let you know.

also, i had to have a piece of trim reinstalled when i got my oil changed yesterday. it had worked loose on around the back window on the passenger side on the inside. not real sure of the cause, but it's fixed none the less.

 

While yours was replace under warranty, did the service rep or does your paper work indicate the cost in replacing the evic? Think those of us who do not have the light would be interested in knowing. Thanks in advance.

 

Looks like that part lists for $229 (saw it for $153). That would be for the entire Speedo, Tach, EVIC cluster minus the front trim which has the lens. The entire unit has to be replaced as an assembly per the service manual which confirms what he was told by the dealer. Should be plug and play with no dealer service tool needed per the manual.

It's actually very easy to remove. I'd first disconnect the battery so the airbag can't fire, then take the clamshell off the column, then a couple of screws, unplug the connectors and it's out. Had mine out to clean the lens due to the inside being fogged.

 

Can you please post the part number?

 

I looked it up on a Dodge Parts website but they didn't give the number. Look under Electrical, then Chassis Electrical, then Instruments and Gauges, then Instrument Cluster.

 

Hello everyone I just have a question. I was told that the new vehicle instrument clusters actually contain a computer which has to be coded with your VIN before you install. Now this was in an 08 ram 1500 but I would assume that if that is true of the 08 I would think that it would also be true of the 09. Or the dealler could have just been blowing smoke.
