Anybody with the 4.30 Juice getting a check engine light?

Have had the 4.30 in for about 2 weeks and on the way to work this morning the truck turned on the check engine light. The outside air temp was mid 30's, the engine was up to temp, I was on level 2 and pushing it to accelerate from the on-ramp onto the interstate. The truck is running fine (no wierd noises, no hesitation, etc.). I turned off the truck and let it sit for about 30 seconds and re-started. The light is still on.

Any thoughts?

Yes, I did just start using the block heater that morning. What are your thoughts?

Just read the "SES light - Fuel Temp Sensor" thread. I did the exact thing you mentioned: using a timer for the block heater set at 3 hrs before I leave for work.

Curious that it took so long for the code to set (I' had been driving for about 8-10 minutes).

It probably took 10-15 minutes for the SES light to come on, not exactly sure. It was about half way thru my 25 min ride to work.

Took the truck in yesterday and the light was related to using the block heater, just as in the "SES light - Fuel Temp Sensor" thread. They updated the ecm. Thanks.
