the is a conector under the dash on the driver side called a OBD2 conector. the is the port that is used to read troble codes. Take the truck to your local auto zone and get them to read the codes for you, then get them to give you the print out on the codes from there computer inside the store this will explane what is wronge. this procedure will only work if the check engine light is on.
