    Yes, Dodge trucker is right. The PO113 code is the plug sencer for the air duct. I took mine off to check the sparkplugs and then fired up my truck with that sencer unplug and it threw that code. Easy fix. As for ur other codes I'm not sure. U have to look them up. Hope that helps u.

It sits on top of the truck roof above the windsheld. They were very popular back in the 60's and 70's. 2...
