Sounds kinda like the air filter minder. Check the filter gauge on the back of the air filter.

OK Sean what Mod do you have going??with the extra Lines in the Pics

CCV Reroute??


Hey if his Filter Minder went off for a Plugged air filter its the First Iv heard of it

Most filters get changed far before the Minder goes Off and they do seam to last along time anyways

Wonder what the restriction leval/Vac Leval gets to before it triggers the Light

Guess that's why I was dumfounded. I've never seen that on my truck. Still has the original air filter.

lol - no. The post was a poke" at us 6.0L owners I think. Since there are eight little dots in between the bars of the plugged filter image, he was calling it the blown head gasket light (after all don't all 6.0's have blown head gaskets?) and the eight dots were cylinders. It was kinda funny .............
