I noticed yesterday afternoon when driving the five hundred that the check engine light was out. Not sure if it self corrected the issues or the light bulb burned out . still have an appointment to get it looked at to make sure. One of the codes was for cooling fan 1 not working and it indicated that it wouldn't trigger the cel so hopefully find out if there is a problem and what is causing it.

Good morning Jim. Hopefully the codes are either gone or no big deal.

Good morning Jim and Jay!

That engine light is no big deal. You don't have to worry until it starts flashing or the wrench light comes on.

Good morning Troy.

And as usual a little dab of electrical tape can fix any of those lights.

The B1342 code was gone,
The egr and fan not working codes still there. Went to a local mechanic and not sure of cause yet. for the fan I'm going to swap the temp sensor from the original engine to the replacement. Doubt it will make a difference. Hopefully not computer problem.
the egr, we will look closer on the lift to see if a vacuum line might be bad. I did pull the one off the original motor but to get the one off the replacement motor probably won't be as easy. It is an 05 so I believe I don't need to worry about emissions with it any more in 2021 when the next inspection is due on it. The cooling fan does need to be fixed though

Happy Hump Day Troy and Cory.

Campground is called Olsen's Campground near Silver Creek. They only offer a few weekender sites during the regular season though. We will be in a seasonal site that the person is out of right now.

It is amazing how worthless Fleetfarm is. Had the inner seal but not the bearing. Had the outer bearings. Of course I ruined one of the inner bearings. Now I need to figure out where to get that bearing tomorrow.
