Yep, especially on driveability problems where you know what the problem is but can't pull the code to attach that little slip to the RO.

One thing you might check is if your brake pedal is dropping after the truck is shut off and letting the brake lamps come on while you are sleeping.

This reminds me of a friends wife that took her car to the dealer after co-workers told her she had to have the air changed in her tires. My wife once asked me if it was OK to flush the toilet when the electricity was off. The other day she opened the gas bill, and thought my garage freezer was the reason it was higher.
