Message: [QUOTE="Emery19, post: 266413, member: 2530"] well the title to this thread is irrelevant now, but i figured i would just update this thread so as to not start a new one, so hopefully someone will be see this in here. haha got the truck back last Friday around 4pm. the leak in the roof was fixed and a new SJB and harness were put in. i was reading over the receipt at the counter and when the tech drove the truck, he said that that the tow haul light was inoperable. i was like. oh really? stayed polite and looked at the guy and was like. why? he said he didnt know, the tech had no answer. and i said well its possible that the light in the dash is out, but I'm not having you pull the dash again to mess with it. ill just press the button while driving to see if anything different happens. this is friday, i was leaving on sunday to come back to PA with the truck. I had my dad drive it home, because I had to go somewhere else and I had my ranger with me. I get home later and he's like go play with the radio to see if you can get any reception. so i messed with it, and if you hit seek it just constantly searches through the channels, and theres no reception at all except for very few stations and its fuzzy. my guess is they just didnt plug back in the antenna and I just need to pull the radio and fix that, but i didnt have time because saturday was going to be dedicated to working on the ranger(stuff i could do myself) well since the dealer didnt open up till monday i said whatever, as long as the aux input works so i can play my phone and ipod across the speakers i dont care really. and that worked so i was fine. Sunday morning I was all loaded up to go back to school, but i was stopping in Portland, about 45 minutes from home to watch my sisters dance competition quick before heading out. It had been cold so i went outside to start the truck while i ate my bagel. Starts right up but the check engine light is on.. I'm pissed at this point because the truck was just in the shop and hadn't been drive all damn week and now the light was on. well i said screw it. if something happens between here and portland then ill just get the ranger and go back to school. I get on the highway and the truck is having a real hard time keeping up to 65-70 and its reving weird. My dad was with me because I was dropping him off with my mom and sister in portland for the comp but he couldnt tell cuz i was driving. Cruise control doesnt work either. so i was pissed, i was like if they just had this whole thing apart and messed up my cruise, this 9 hour drive is gonna blow. i kinda realized after trying to hold a steady speed that the truck is in reduced power mode, doesnt rev above 2700, wont hold 65 and lugs and doesnt shift right. i get to portland and off the highway, and the dash just reads drive to clean exhaust filter, and it was like that the whole way from the highway to where the comp was, wouldnt start to clean but i was in city traffic so i figured that was the case. (side note, went to fuel up, the sign said 4.29 and i said ok, pulled in swipped my card, and it told me to enter amount to purchase. i was like.. er ok. 65. and then i went to pull the nozzel out and the button to turn diesel on said 4.59. i was like **** that theres no way im paying 30cents more then advertised. so i cancled and just went to watch my sister perform, ended up at the station across the street from this one and filled up for 4.25) anyways. after i get back onto the highway, the truck seems to have full power back again, and it starts cleaning the exhaust filter. and the message stays on the whole time it was cleaning so im assuming it was really really clogged up. but i merge onto the high way and the truck revs fine, i can hold 75 miles an hour and the cruise control works. i was so confused at to why this happened and i still am. but it ran fine all the way to pa and i havent had any trouble sense. that being said the check engine light is still one, I need to get a reader to pull the code, because the reader i do have is part of the tuner for my ranger so it wont work. if theres anyone near Selinsgrove PA that has a reader and wouldnt mind letting me pull and clear codes, i would greatly appreciate that. and if theres any insight as to why the truck decided to pull its little stunt, id love that to. haha i know im long winded, but thanks for reading.
