Hey Guys, I'm new to this forum and would appreciate any help.
I have a 97 dodge ram 5.9 v8 4wd, and randomly keep seeing my check engine light flash on then off real fast. will not stay on and code reader will not pull any codes. Truck never seems to miss a beat just bothers me when it does this. I have tried resetting truck and checking codes manually and with a reader and it shows nothing. truck is mostly stock other than shorty headers and a k&n cold air intake, have recently replaced iac, tps, both 02 sensors, neutral safety switch, and battery with all new ground wires and alt wire, I cant seem to find anything similar on other forums, and its not a constant flash like a misfire I have seen that one and know what its like. and all parts replaced are oem mopar parts

How about a bad CEL bulb?

Typically a flashing MIL means pull over now... might indicate a severe condition such as exhaust catalyst overheating.

Leave the battery disconnected for 10 minutes and retry it.
