servie engine soon light

This warning light came on for the first time since I've owned the truck (early 99 with 133K). My Haynes manual says Chapter 2, Service Engine Soon light, see chapter 6....
Chapter 6, Service Engine Soon, see chapter 2"

Is the quickest easiest thing to do to bring it to the dealer and have them read the code?

Thanks,
Paul in SoCal

Re: service engine soon light

Or you can buy a used superchips programmer off Ebay, it will read the codes and clear them and it is cheaper than a laptop, although I wouldn't load their tunes on your truck. You can also do like me and get the XCalibrator2 from Jody at DPTuner, you can have any of Jody's tunes put on it and it will read and clear codes and do live data logging with a laptop. Before you add ponies though you need gauges, intake, exhaust etc...
