make that picture a sticky in the tech forum, this is why the engine light come on most of the time
i found out about this years ago and ive always forgotten to take a pic of it when i get there,
this happens the truck reaches 60,xxx miles 120,xxx kms
its a service/money grab for the dealer

we run into this problem all the time

could be something as simple as your oxygen sensor setting it off. infact,that's probably what it is, or some emissions related component, such as your EGR valve.

pull out your 02 sensor and see if it is all white and oxidized. if so,replace it. if it's black or brown,it's probably okay.

you could also have a plugged catalytic converter
