My last 8 digits are 868xxxxx, so does that mean I'm not in the high risk group? What's the PI?

Steve check your vin # again ,I think you have a early build,it should start with 6******* not 8*******.
Also for those getting close to 50K (at least a year or so for me)
Is there a check we can do ourselfs(like compresion test ?) to see if head is starting to go before warranty expires ?

442 - Thanks for the pointer. Correction, my last 8 digits of my vin are 6810xxxx, so that does put me in the higher risk group. My rig was purchased in early July 2005.

Re: got my check engine light this morning in traffic
Compression check could show problem. Wouldnt hurt to know the numbers to look for . If its still running smooth the numbers will probably be close on each cylinder. Im going to check mine this weekend in our garage. Were doing a test and tune on our late model stock car so the shop will be all mine. Im getting terrable MPG. My service rep at my dealership has been top notch , but when I take it in Ill allready have info on compression to compare with what they find. Good luck fft

Re: got my check engine light this morning in traffic
Mine is 6816blahblahblah AND I have started getting rough idle (and it stalled this morning trying to take off w/it cold). no check engine light yet, but sounds like I might go to dealer now to see if they can diagnose it early...
