Default Check Engine Light?

Hey again,

I need some help trying to diagnose my truck problem. After driving my truck for an extended period of time 1hour+ usually in the city, the check engine light comes on. If I stop and turn the truck off and then turn it on again it stays off. I dunno if something is getting too hott and tripping a sensor, I don't want to burn anything up. Also its a 95 and i heard they didn't start using OBD till 96 so what kind of reader do i need, if one at all.

Thanks again,

well #12 if you just disconected your batt within the last 50 starts is nouthing to worry about and #55 is just telling you its done giving codes so again nouthing to worry about now as for #32 and #37 i dont know enuf to tell you fore shure on them outher pepole have more exp with that stuff but here is what id think:

#37 could be a bad senser, tranny could be getting hot (not good) or your TC solenoide could be bad
#32 i cant think of what EGR is its something to do with emmisions i think but like i sed somone will be able to help u better than i can
