I bought a 2002 dodge ram with a 5.9L engine. I do not have an owners
manual. Could someone please... look in their owners manual and tell me
what the recommended oil is for this truck  

thanks a lot

10W30, unless you're in below-zero temps, then 5W30

Consistantly below zero not just occasionally.

Unless it's the 6 cylinder 5.9L. ;^)

This is likely to start a discussion, but I'm fond of Castrol. My
last truck was  high mileage, and had a piston rod knock. Castrol
was the only oil that quieted the rod knock for more than three
days after an oil change.

With castrol, the rod knock was quiet, until the next oil change.

with any other brand, the rod knock returned after about three
days after an oil change.

Did that really need explaining?
