OK,
First for a hist of maintenance on my truck.
Changed/maintained
Front Axle Repack.
Front/Rear brakes
Fuel Filter
PHH
Changed Radiator Fluid, Hoses, thermostat.
Changed all fluids to synthetic except for the Power steering fluid (still need to do.)
Changed the starter contacts and plunger.
Changed the belts (I hear a concerning noise when I turn the AC on. Gotta check the AC belt to make sure it is not too tight or too loose.)
Oil levels fine in engine and Tranny.
What could possibly be giving me a check engine warning? I don't have a code reader. Should I just buy a code reader instead of paying a mechanic $70 to trouble shoot it? How much are the code readers?
