Getting check engine code without a code reader

[sjaaaz]

Nursejenn was correct

Why? Why would you say this?




At least mine made it 100k miles before the light came on.

Oh no... I apologize for all the damage I have caused y'all's marriage. [emoji38][emoji38]

Nursejenn was correct. Cylinder misfires on two different cylinders. Basically needs new plugs and wires.

First time ever.

My 01 RAMs (both of them) are the only truck I'm aware that reads out the OBDT code in the odometer. Or so I've been told. Twist key on-off-on-off-on but not making the starter turn.

Neither the pre-00 or post-02 RAMs will do it. I think whoever Dodge bought the ECMs from had an engineer who bet a beer to a co-worker that he could program that in the firmware and not get caught. No other reason it's just the one year.

LOL- city boy retires to the sticks and gets his first serving of "town is too far away"-
A problem us city boys dream of having, congrats on your goal fulfillment.


Back to the Code -
Taint no way it needs plugs and wires at 55k (that would be real early far as I know).

I'd go buy some super duper fuel treatment put it in at a 1/4 tank and run her hard down to E to blow off what ever is stuck to the plugs.

But then again I don't own one of these...... 55K for plugs and wires just smells young- that's old Hemi numbers and they had copper plugs.

Thanks for the update, Chew!

I've already got the truck inspected. My question was about being able to read the codes on the display.

Maybe a bigger display?
