Up New guy from Atlanta

Hey guys, love the site and the helpful info in excess. I just purchased an '05 Dodge 3500 on Saturday...then got it stuck in the recent snow storm here in Atlanta.... Miles were high, but it runs like a top so I will deal with the issues as they come. Next weekend, I plan to change the oil, fuel filter, trans fluid and diff fluid, just to be safe. Any recommendations on brands and type? Also where would I find the reverse switch (48FE)? I believe mine may be faulty since I have no reverse lights. Its my first diesel, but have been a fan of the Cumins for a while. What should my next step be to enjoy this truck as much as possible. I must confess, I did not buy it for towing, I just love trucks and turbos, so hauling *** in this one is the end goal.

Check the fuses. The fuse panel, or rather the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) is on the drivers side, under the hood, next to the battery.

Hey guys, TIPM it is. Will check it as soon as I get home. For a 1 ton truck it rides pretty well, and without the 4x4 option, turning radius is rather impressive.
