Here's a fun little "1st time" update:

One of the guys at the shop asked what the BlueTooth OBD reader was so I showed him the Torque App. I'd just plugged it in using an OBD extension cable, so it wasn't pretty. He said, hey, you want my to stuff that under the dash somewhere? SURE!

And testing that for function (works!) with the Torque app sorta opened the door to playing with it more. I played with the dashboard, setting up new dials, looked at the logging (I wanna do this). And so it was that on my last short leg of this trip, I got a check engine light!

Now, we all know these are pretty common and can come up with something as simple as a loose gas cap. Expecting that, I did my best to pay it no attention for about 4 hours or so. But as soon as I had the chance, I fired up Torque and rifled through the 'Check' menu (or whatever, I don't remember)

Anyway, it'll read the codes from the BT OBD device and send 'em right to your phone or Android radio. It did. I don't have *any* idea what they were because I just *knew* they'd come back or stay there. After you read it, which takes about 30 seconds, You get the chance to clear them. (Yeah right). But I did it, knowing that it wouldn't work.

I turned off the truck to go on the errand I was working through. When I returned? I couldn't believe it! NO CE LIGHT! And no. I didn't take a picture because I didn't expect that what I did would actually work!
