Hey thunder, I wanna ask another question; when I got this truck, the engine light was not on. I took it to autozone and the computer said it is the gas cap. I noted that the little thing that looks like a rounded door in that canal where you put the gas pipe to pump gas in it was there. When I was done pumping gas and retired the pipe, the little rounded door didnt go back to its place. I am wondering if that is the reason why the engine light is on.

you can just cycle the key 3 times to the on position, and leave it in the on position on the 3rd time. it will show up in the odom as PCODE....
