So my check engine light came on today, and my remote start is disabled. Hoping its nothing to serious, I cant take it into the dealer until Monday though.

Also when the truck starts it seems to rev higher then normal, this all happened when I left for lunch today. Everything was normal this morning....

Well, I'm in a rental car for now...

There telling me it's misfiring, could have been a bad batch of gas...who knows. Service tech recommends I leave it with them so they can do some more troubleshooting....

Sigh...

Got her back, dealer says it was a bad coil pack, they changed the sparkplugs and coil pack and everything checked out good. They tested the coil pack in another spot to verify and it threw codes again so it was bad

So far its been driving great, hoping this doesnt become a trend lol

The only thing I noticed was it seemed to rev a little higher at lower speeds, but honestly if the check engine light didnt come on I probably wouldn't have even noticed.
