yes i'm an idiot....grin...borrowing a friends truck, he's out of town. The first light on the panel is coming on and I don't have a manual. Is this the check engine soon light or something more serious. And if it is check engine soon, does it want a tune up? Finicky truck. The light is next to the fill gas tank light..duh.. and looks like an engine, or a submarine...what ever happened to the days where it would just tell you? Thanks in advance for the answer, would rather look like an idiot online than in a repair shop.

LOL..... better to go in informed..... A submarine???? sounds like it is the check engine light.... did you by chance put gas in it? if so be sure the gas cap is on correctly, that can set a light. Otherwise you will need to get it scanned to see what the code is and get back to me, so we can figure it out
