I replaced my fuel pump after removing my bed bolts and a lot of cussing. I lifted only the front of the bed so I didn't have to disconnect any wiring in the back. I also replace my coil as one of the post recommended. The next few days it will be over a hundred and I will be driving around. It will be my best test to see if one them worked.

you don't have to buy a code reader, or take it anywhere.. yours is a '98..

do the key trick..

turn the ignition on three times fairly rapidly, don't engage starter.. on third time, leave it on.. observe your digi odometer panel, and codes will appear.. write them down and look them up..

^Key dance doesn't work with 98. Just 99 and up.
I know, I've tried.

To answer this question, should be the panel on driver side of dash. Have to open the door.
