Very first thing, check your oil. Even if it is a little low, when making a turn, the oil will shift and starve the oil pump making your oil warning light come on. This is a common problem on that modal Ram! My 1999 Ram 1500 would do the same thing. I check my oil regulatory, even with the oil 1/2 way in safe range on the dip stick, the oil warning light would come on when making turns. I have to fill my engine all the way up to the top mark in the safe range on the dip stick to keep this from happening. Be careful not to over fill. If this continues, you may have a bad oil pump/pick up. I would almost bet, you are have the same problem I had. Good Luck.

This is the best advice I can give to any DIYer. Buy a subscription to All Date for the make and model of your vehicle. I think they give you up to 2 vehicles, maybe 3 for around $45 a year. This is the same sight that meany of your Independent Shops use, the only difference is it runs them $2500 a year simply because at that price they have access to just about every make and model vehicle. You can go to the symptom chart and search for the problem you have, and track the problem down by running the listed pinpoint test. Mitchell on Demand is another, but I couldn't tell you which one is better.

Water is getting in your distributor cap somehow I would replace it and run a little bead of high temp silicone under it before installing that should fix your problem

It sounds like you have a vacume leak.

Check your hood cowl seal and make sure water isn't getting to your distributor.

No, but you may get by just removing the passenger side, without taking the whole dashboard off. If what I looked up is correct its located near the glove box. Behind the dash. The hardest part of this job is getting that dash back on. If you only have to take off the one side that will help immensely!
