i woke up today and felt the same meaninglessness as I do everyday. Nothing is of any value, the universe is indifferent, and nothing we do matters. However I am going to go eat some chilli pretty soon which is pretty tops.

As Tom said in post 10 you should get one of the inexpensive ebay scanners with bluetooth that works with a free app on your cell phone. If you don't want to wait then nearly all of the auto parts stores will scan your OBD codes for free.
OBD stands for On Board Diagnostics. Look it up on Wikipedia for a full explanation. Your truck periodically tests systems in the engine, brakes, emission controls, etc. and if something isn't 100% will write an error code in its computer. Many of these require very simple fixes.
For example my 2012 Jeep "threw a code" a year after I bought it new. The code was for a slight leak in the fuel vapor recovery system. I removed the gas cap, cleaned the gasket and sealing surface, then reinstalled the cap. The code could not be erased at that time because as far as the computer knew, the cap was still leaking vapor. But after driving the car again it retested itself then "cleared the code".
Some of the more expensive cars go overboard with these self-tests, well past the GovCo mandated requirements. For example certain Mercedes models test the electrical resistance in wiring circuits, including the trunk light. This is a big money maker for Mercedes dealerships.

If it will make you feel better I had a much worse day than you exactly a year ago today. That morning my niece, who is who was about your age, died unexpectedly from heart failure. To add insult to injury today is also my birthday and anniversary. Needless to say my wife and I don't feel much like celebrating.

By the way Norah make sure your tetnis shot is up to date. Being around horses means your at high risk.

He's nuts Norah! That could cost you a lot of money. Take your vehicle to the nearest auto parts store and have them use their meter to check the computer code. It might be something minor and it might be something small that needs taken care off that could lead to serious repairs. My check engine light came on last summer and I only needed to change the thermostat but it could have been the water pump.
