Default CE 43** UPDATE

check engine light 43** Peak primary circuit current not acheived with the maximum dwell time.

**These codes light up the CHECK ENGINE light on the instrument panel during engine operation once the trouble code has been recorded.

what the crap does that mean? trucks running fine, no problems what so ever.

Sounds like your coil might be on it's way out.

Agreed. Once that bad boy goes, you aren't going anywhere.
