    I had my tranmission (throwout bearing) done and I know the exhaust needs to come off.. any way, I got my truck back today and after driving it a bit the trac off and engine light kicked on. I have no lost any power and it drives fine. I'm going to check the code tomorrow with a reader. But any ideas?

    Until you get a code reader, the easiest thing to check is the gas cap is on tight.

    Years ago when I was trying different locking gas caps, ones that would not seal properly threw a CEL and Trac Off light.
