Now i know.
I thought today was going to be my day...all excited to get my new rubber n rims installed. I get everything installed take a test drive around the block from the shop to check for rubbing(none at that time) I make everything legal. I then drive home i get close to my house and my check engine comes on... FIRST time i have ever seen that light since i drove it off the lot in 97..

I have not had the chance to get it diagnosed yet. does anyone have any idea on what it can be? i went up a rim size to a 17" and increased my tire size to a 33"

oh and by the way... The rubbing that i did not have when i drove tested is because i did not cut the wheel hard enough and yes i have rubbing... I did not want to use spacers but if i have to i will... I also noticed a splash of white grease by my boots under the front end....

Tell me something.... why me? I thought i was doing the right thing... pictures to follow... back to work.

I or anyone else would be giving you nothing but wild speculations. Go get the code pulled and post back... Autozone will read the code for free, as well as other stores I'm sure.
 
Ok, so i stopped in at Auto Zone to have this looked at and this is what they tell me.
The code is P0136(bank one sensor two)
It's pointing to a Heated oxygen sensor. I'm thinking that since this came on right after the lift was installed they might have hit one of the sensors or knocked one of the wires.. something like that.I'm going to check it tomorow and see what i find out.. if not it's to the dealer.. if i do replace it on my own will the CEL go out by it self? or does it need to be reset?
thanks for the input.
