It's time to re-register my diesel truck but it has a check engine light on (can't pass smog with a check engine light). I have a scanner so I tried resetting the fault, the light goes out but it just comes back again. The code says there's a problem in the glo-plug module. Took it to a shop and it's costing me $630 to get the bad module replaced. Almost $300 for the part itself then the rest is labor.
Ex-mechanics like Celery and Dan are probably thinking they would save the labor costs and replace the part themselves. I used to do that in my younger days but these days I can afford to pay someone else to do that and save me the bother.
My truck is a 2005 that I bought in Nov 2004. This is the first repair I've done to the engine in 13 years so I'm not terribly upset. I don't particularly like having to put out the money to get it fixed though, especially since the trucks runs fine, only indication there's a problem is that stupid light.
