Check engine light

2007 F350 6.0L, 86000 miles

Ya'll may remember me, we had the truck that was giving us fits a while back and putting gaskets on the exhaust manifolds seemed to fix everything. Toaday the check engine light came on.

Before I go to the dealer, what are some possibilities? In the last 6 months, turbo has been cleaned/rebuilt, EGR valve replaced, several fuel injectors repalced, gaskets installed on exhaust manifolds, MAP sensor repalced and tube cleared. All this was done due to power problems. Ex. Manifold Gaskets were the final fix. Truck has been running great.

Any ideas? What are the most likely culprits?

Laura

Also, how dangerous is it to run it for a day or two at most? Major scheduling problems with getting it to dealer and/or getting a rental before Tuesday....

So long as the wrench light is NOT flashing, it's okay to drive to a shop for repair.
