Oh well - so much for that idea. :-) I briefly considered wiring
a spare "dummy" computer into the OBD-II port, but by the time you get
that to work, you'd probably be money ahead just getting the truck
fixed. :-(
That would be an interesting product though - a device you can
wire into your OBD-II port, which will mimic a properly functioning
computer, except for the codes. To be sold for novelty use only,
of course... ;-)
