Rich: Thanks for that piece of backup info. My '95 doesn't have the tranny
cooler or towing either. Just don't know why it waited til I had 106,000 on
the clock to come up on the light. Truck does seem to run fine although I
think I may have the engine MotorVac'ed soon.
 I still have to deal with the "51 code about the O2 sensor stuck in the
"lean position". Maybe the Borg -Warner recall issue discussed tonight has
a role here!? Then there's the "12" code that also came up (memory standby
power lost)..not sure what this means.
Thanks again!
