HE TOLD THE NEEDLE ON GAS GAUGE WASNT READING RIGHT. SO MAKE LONG STORY SHORT . I THNK THE CLUSTER GAUGE IS BAD. FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN I START IT UP . I GET THE NO BUS AN ALL THE DUMMY LUGHTS STAY ON. WHEN I REPLACE THE CLUSTER GAUGE WITH A NEW ONE . WILL THE NEW CLUSTER GAUGE HAVE TO TO BE SET TO THE MILEAGE ON MY OLD ONE. OR WILL IT GET ITS SELF. IF ANY ONE CAN HELP ME. PLS EMAIL ME [email protected].

I don't know that the new cluster can be set. Just keep track of the mileage and keep in mind if you sell the vehicle that the DMV will probably want to know that the mileage isn't correct.

Did replacing the cluster help? I have a 2000 Ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.9. I had the no bus problem and went round and round with it. To make a long story short, take the black cover off the fuse box inside the engine compartment. You will see a plug with a phillips screw in it labeled Engine Inline ?? Pull that off and take some contact cleaner and clean it real good. That fixed my problem and my dash has worked for over 6 months now. Hopefully that will take care of you problem. My problem wasn't the cluster and it wasn't the computer. Good Luck
