Have you tried reading the codes to see what's causing the light to come on?

Only a select few scanners can read these trucks. Forscan being the most common one. You just need a cheap Bluetooth obd connector and the app

Thumbs up

...and being an early truck means you may not be OBD2 compliant, just OBD2 ready. If you have a chip of any sort, this puts the latest factory flash on the PCM.

If you did not buy the dead end connector when you did ebpv delete you will get cel. Call Clay at Riff Raff and tell him you did the delete and you need the plug to keep light off
