Yeah, I should have said the "dash top" or "dash cover" instead of "no dash" (because it still has everything about the dash except for the cover).
Thanks again for your explanations. I guess that for now, I will be tuning/standardizing myself as I do normal maintenance stuff on the truck, getting it up to normal par. That includes figuring out the 5th gear nut. I may put 2 nuts on the shaft, both with plenty of red threadlocker.
As far as the filters, I went with O'rielly (house brand) oil (15-40 petro) and a WIX (because they don't have fleetfilter, amsoil, or donaldson). In the future I think I will buy one of those brands online.
I have not thrown away the old filter yet, I want to cut into it and see what surprises it has for me... hopefully just a little bit of sludge.
Back to gearing. One of the things that needs to be looked at on this truck is the tachometer. It doesn't seem to want to talk to me: it sits at 0 all the time, and I have adjusted the ESS. I am slightly suspicious of the computer because my A/C compressor doesn't kick in.
2 things I need... after having a wiring diagram for my whole Jeep, I need the wiring diagram for my dodge. Also, I don't seem to have a factory repair manual.
