First, get some gauges.

Second ( I know i'm gona get flamed for this) get a code scanner that can read our trucks (extended OBDII). When you get a code, it will be held in the computer for several start/run cycles. This will tell you exactly what's going on. With that information, you'll have what you need to determine if it is something that can be ignored.

The other thing nice about the scan tool is all codes do not generate a SES light. Pulling codes once a week or so is a good start to how your truck is running.

I personally like AutoEngunity and pull codes once every two weeks (light or not) and have found some interesting things about my truck even with no ses light.

Happy Thanksgiving
