Wrench Day in Des Moines

Hey guys

You know those little lights on the dash they call idiot lights, they don't call them that for nothing. The other day, at the beginning of an 800 mile staight thru drive to get home for work, the check engine light popped on with a "bong" and then went out. I checked the gauges everything OK engine souns great. 30 second later same thing. This went on for 5 minutes or so and then a Yellow check engine light comes on and stays on. Now I'm looking for a rest stop or a truck stop, did I mention it's 11 at night on Sunday night and it's raining. 5 minutes after the yellow light the engine shut down! After a tow to Dodge and sleeping in the cab I found out that in the pocess of troubleshooting a trailer short,the day before, I had bent a pin in the control module. When that YELLOW idiot comes on you'd better find a place to stop quick.
 
Yes, they are there for a reason.

Getting off topic , I have a step van with a SB chevy. It was running hot with one crew only driving it. ( that was a clue )I asked them to watch the temp gauge while driving it.

After they got it really hot the next time, I asked about the gauge. They said they watched it. " it went from one side to the other ".



So, my truck has idiot GAUGES.
