Check engine light?

Sadly enough, with 550 miles on the odometer, I've got what appears to be a 'check engine' light on my dash. It's an orange icon in the shape of a motor. Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks.

Sounds to me like a trip back to the dealer. Let them fix it under warrantee.

First welcome to FTE. Since its still under warranty I would bring it to the dealer. If it is a gasser and you just filled it up, check to make sure gas cap is on. My wife cost me a $105 once for not putting cap on right.

Check your book. Probably something minor.

Try taking it to your local auto parts store and see if they have a code reader that will work with your truck (OBD II CAN compliant). If they can get the codes for you they will probably know what they mean, if they don't post them on here and someone should be able to help.
