Most of the folks at my car dealership had the same attitude about
aftermarket parts when I was chatting with them about that stuff, during
prepping of my truck..."oh no, don't do that", "it's a bad idea", "it
won't work", etc.
But after finding out their head 'truck' mechanic had a fairly modified
V10 Ram, and we became friends, and started chatting in-depth about
engines with the service mgr, they've lightened up quite a bit about
aftermarket mods and always come outside to see what the latest mod I've
done to the truck, when I stop by.
Anyhow, I think I'm gonna drive the truck, ensure it drives and feels
right, and if no more check engine light (really a engine
'symbol')...re-think what I want to do about it.
I guess I'm kind of looking for real-world experience with fellow DAK
owners who have had the same problem/symptoms, and what they did.
Sounds like your truck is doing ok after the problem.
Thanks.
