Battery / Amp Gauge
First a little disclaimer:
If this is a stupid question, I' m either:
1. Stoned, because we can smoke pot in California now, or
2. Tired, because I stayed up watching election, or
3. Stupid, because... well... My parents grew up in the 60's
Anyway. Where is the gauge that shows current draw/charge/level for battery/alternator?
Thanks in advance,
Twack

OK, you are almost there. Go to that oil life reset and hit OK. It takes you to another screen that shows the percentage.
Steps.
Go to settings on cluster screen.
Advanced settings
Vehicle
Oil life reset (actually hit OK or right arrow)

Which takes me to a blank screen. Says Oil life reset in blue at the top and then it says to press OK to reset at the bottom. Do we need to reset it as it may have never been set at KTP?

thanks for the picture. I'm glad to know that I'm going to the correct screen. Mine is blank between "Oil life reset" and "hold ok to reset". So unless someone posts on the forum a fix before I make it to the dealership, we'll see what they have to say. Thanks again

Guys,
Having owned 6.2L trucks and 6.7L trucks, the answer is that easy. Gas trucks have a % Remaining screen, and diesel trucks do not. Plowjockey's truck is a gas truck based upon the lack of a turbo boost gauge in the cluster. The gas trucks simply rely on a miles driven / days since last reset timer. The diesel trucks have a much more complex oil change reminder based upon how hard you drive your trucks, how hot they get, how many regens, etc, etc. There is no info except when the oil change soon / oil change required comes on, because the % could change based upon your driving habits.
The sole battery gauge would be the red battery dummy light that comes on when your battery is not being charged, along with a message on the screen.
