i have just bought a ram 1500 after taking it on along scenic drive through the mountains i noticed the check gauges light would come on around turns and the oil press. was low. when i got to a town i checked the oil and it registered empty so i added three quarts and then it registered full, would have thought it would take 4-6 for that. the oil also smelled burnt on the dipstick. i have put about 1000 miles on the truck since purchasing and hope that i wasn't driving with low or no oil the whole time as i didnt check fluid levels before buying im probly a dummy for that. i hope i didn't make a mistake buying this truck after reading all these postings about sludge, which is something i guess i better get checked out. any body have any advise .......i have no warranty
