My first check engine light.

Well, at 7400 miles I have received my first check engine light. Was EGR valve. The dealer replaced it and all good to go now. The lead mechanic there (who is a friend) told me to go ahead and order H&S and deletes and that he would hook everything up for me. Asked about warranty and he said not to worry about it. This is my 4th truck from them and they treat me pretty well.

Don't wait!!! I just hit 4,000 now, 1000 miles with delets so far. This tank is just under 1/2 and I have 356 miles (only 120 highway)on it and my speedo if off because of the 35" tires so I am really over 380miles so far I bet. Still can't believe the dif!!.

My wife came out good on this deal. She went with me to pick up my truck and came home with a 2011 Jeep Compass Limited.
