    Kind of in a tight spot. Just moved to NC from CO and mid trip we had time to get the truck serviced in TX. That was at 9,750mi. At 10,200mi the maintenance reqd. light popped on and has stayed. I figured since it wasn't on when we got the service done than the tech forgot to reset it. So i read through the manual while we traded off driving and found the reset process. Set mileage indicator to ODO, turn off truck, push in mileage reset peg, turn truck on but don't start, wait for lines/zeros/whatever. It never worked. Where I'm at in NC there isn't a dealership anywhere near. Any other ideas??? It's 2011 DC 4X4 V6 SB.

    :D Worked like a charm. Really appreciate it. Went back and read the manual again with better eyes. Step one said set to ODO and turn engine off. Hold TRIP reset and turn on, do not start. Worked in seconds. written weird in the manual for sure.
