Yes. Apologies. What I meant was that, when pulling the codes, the only one i get is the pass code. I got the O2 sensor hooked up now. Apparently there is a transmission fluid leak. I am looking into where from. Somewhere around the torque convertor. The vacuum pressure showed no issues. Steady...

I did try to pull the codes but it doesn't show any. I will try again this afternoon. The CEL only comes on after driving for 10-15 minutes and then goes away after shutting it off. Do you know if this truck is supposed to store the codes? It doesn't seem like it does.

Hey guys, So I got the ECT sensor installed. No luck with my issue though. Any other ideas? Maybe the intake air temp sensor? My pressure gauge should be coming in today so i'm going to see if that tells me anything. It probably will, but I don't know if it will tell me what is causing this...

Yeah i've got a new sensor to put on and it looks like that. I'll just have to find that harness that comes from the back of the engine. Apparently the person/people who have worked on it before me were just pulling out sensors and bypassing things in order to get it to run at all instead of...

I thought so. I will get the 02 sensor hooked in and see what that does. I agree I could use some help from someone with more automotive knowledge. I'm short of one at the moment though ?. So I'll keep coughing along with my attempts to then. Thank you for your advice!

It doesn't give me any codes either way. ? I will try changing the coolant temp sensor tomorrow. Thank you for your response!
