Truck still stalling

Yes, parts plenty, almost 100 degrees in Tall, FL Geico tow truck took 1 hour. My brother-in-law put on parts. Autozone said no to code reader because check engine light not on, so unsure of codes. Autozone didn't have time for me, I guess? I'm disabled on social security & new truck unafforable. Thank you so much, God Bless You!

Do you have a question? What does the Check Engine light not on have to do with anything? The light must turn on only when a fault detected could adversely affect emissions. The can still be codes in memory when the light is not on.
