Well the sensor above the gas tank to prevent overpressure is loose. Well, it has always been loose. When Chevy built the truck they forgot to install the harness to hold it. The wires have since snapped and the check engine has come and stayed on. Taking it to the dealership and was told there is supposed to be a harness there. They will fix it but will cost me for Chevy's over site.

I love the truck but I've only had it for around 9 months and my service engine light has come on three times for the same problem. When i take it to autozone to get it checked they tell me that its from lean gas and ask me if i filled my gas up recently. Its off right now but for how long?......nobody knows!
Update from Jul 30, 2010: After going to autozone a couple of times and getting the same code from their computer I decided to look up on the internet myself what the code meant and sure enough it ended up being an oxygen sensor. I replaced the oxygen sensor myself and havent had a problem since.
