Bad news though: shes been throwing the same codes VERY OFTEN lately and I think I might have to either take it to a shoppe or have some friends help me out. Its throwing "Cylinder 5 misfire", "EGR Malfunction" (mind you, I cleaned my old one, and then just bought a higher end replacement and the BWD is still on the block) and "O2 Sensor Malfunction" (the one behind the cat). My science teacher told me a couple months ago when this first occurred that it was most likely my head gasket going out and that I oughta replace em all. Mind you, he apparently overhauled his first engine at age 16 and his dad was a mechanic, so I trust his word. Wouldn't mind hearing second and third opinions before I try to tackle this with some friends cause I do NOT want my truck to sit in a shoppe unless it CANNOT run. So far, I would never know I've had a problem if it weren't for the SES light.
Keep in mind, this started occurring not too long after I did a low-budget tune up to see if that would fix what later turned out to be a clogged EGR valve.
Beat the piss outta my truck last night off-roadin' at the local quarry. Mudflaps held up and the rest of the truck seems just fine. I needs to super-clean it inside and out someday soon but I gots no time. Wish I had the time to install them fog lights and order me some dually marker lights for under my tailgate too, but with graduation and graduation parties, I can't scavenge up the time to do anything besides drive my truck.
I kinda wanna put two or three amber lights behind my grille too but I'd need to see other setups before I finally decide.
ALSO thinking of doing a red/green mix for my dash. Thinking of putting red behind my HVAC, which will then match all my indicator lights (minus those damn gear indicators) and the night mode text on my HU.
