    It's really that cheap? Unfortunately we don't have time to replace that right now, but that's definitely next on the list...

    Seriously...

    My friend says to drive it around and let it reset itself; It'll take all damn week to put 150 miles on the truck and I want it out now!

    Head down to the parts store and have them read the codes real fast then report back with the information you get. I will guess the cel is going to be a misfire since you just changed the plugs. Not sure about the traction control though. Gotta check the codes.

    The light will not reset itself, you'll need to do that with an OBD tool or disconnect battery.

    Negative, that's the air switching valve. PCV, connects to Crankcase to Intake.

    Okay, I swung by my mechanic, he plugged his scanner in, and both lights are now out; Going in next Tuesday (not tomorrow) at 9am to get PCV valve replaced... :thumbsup:

    You really can do that one yourself. Watch a video on Youtube and you will be surprised how simple it is. Maybe take 5 min and save you a few bucks.

    Whoever said the PCV valve was only ten bucks called it; Only $8.50 at the dealer and it can be here by tomorrow!

    I'm guessing something isn't hooked up or hooked up correctly

    Way ahead of you there; My mechanic isn't far from friend's house. He hooked up his scanner and made the light go out in matter of minutes; Didn't cost me a thing!

    If it's stuck it will cause this exact oil use issue.
