"Upon further review", how about codes 12 17 15 55 ??

From what I've gathered so far, it seems to be pointing to a distributor
replacement. Is this something that a good local garage usually can handle,
or is this best done by a dealer? I bought the truck used in Sept, "as is"
with no warranty, and since I'm a little pressed for $$, I don't want to
pay the dealer rates unless I really have to.

Thanks, Russ
