Frustration!!!

Huh. I will definitely try that little hard reset idea in the morning. Makes sense, and I bet you just saved me a ton of time...Thanks.

Let it unhooked for maybe 30 seconds. Don't just take it off, and instantly put it back on. Kinda like when you have to kill the power to your motherboard. You wait until the speakers click, or the light on the board goes off.

Don't worry about post whoring either.

However, I just remembered it sometimes can be annoying to triple post. Try and avoid that.

Pick up a cheap code reader just make sure it works with your truck.
Most of the code readers let you clear the code.

I picked up mine form newegg for $30

My last IT guy swore by newegg. I'll check it out, thanks.

Did the battery thing work?

Unfortunately, no. Disconnected the battery for about a minute before I left this morning. Everything seemed good. I was cautiously optimistic on the 30 minute ride to the job, smoking a great Padron '64. Left the job, hit the Sherwin Williams store, Home Depot, then back to the job and all seemed well. Left the jobsite and headed to the office. About 5 minutes from my shop and the damn "Service Engine Soon" light kicked back on.

Hit an Autozone on the way home and asked them to check the code. Like 8 codes came up. Two of which were for the catalytic converter. The guy thinks they didn't reset the computer and says disconnecting the battery doesn't work. Not sure I believe that btw. Gotta take her in and see what's up.

Thanks, I was a bit concerned.

The only vehicle I'm used to working on has no computer chips whatsoever. I really think this is gonna work.
