Check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer I bought it from and was advised I needed some type of plate in the transmission. I declined the $400.00 repair and have not had any problems with the transmission.
At the time, the truck had around 15000 miles on it at the time. It now has 51000 miles on it. I bought a code reader after the check engine light kept coming on, and it always reads that I have some type of emission control leak. Tried a new gas cap, which seemed to work for a while, but the problem returned. I now pay no attention to that light, other than to check the code from time to time to be sure new problems haven't come up.
