Sounds like the CPS.
Can you get it scanned and get a code?

Don't have a reader that will read the truck and the light is off now.

I would still change the CPS to eliminate that possibility.
If you threw a CEL a code will still be stored.
If you are going to ignore it and hope it goes away....I hate to say you will most likely be back soon
