That really is an odd situation. The only thing I can think of is that there was a temperature related connection issue between the chip and ECM (which I doubt, because the truck ran fine) or a similar issue with the WTS light. All we can do at this point is see if the situation recurs when it gets cold again and try to determine exactly what's going on.

Keep us posted.

Thanks Bill, I really don't have a clue. The only thing different about Sat morn was the damp & frosty air but I can't see that having that effect, we'll see. Thanks

Well did it again this morn 18 deg & frosty this a.m. so I decided to take my truck to work & went to start same thing no WTS but everything else was normal. All other dash lites on & GP's kicked on. Started & ran fine, drove 55 miles to work (everything normal) shut off & restart with WTS on like normal. Just a little history, I don't drive truck daily so sometimes it may not get cranked up for 3 or 4 days. Since it did this Sat I've started & drove truck every day or eve after work & WTS has worked properly until this morning. I don't think the bulb is the problem because it works normally after the fact. Just really starting to bug me & I feel like a truck ain't worth a dam if it let's me down when called on (hasn't happened yet, knock on wood)

Did it again this morning, Sat. I'm really stumped & it runs & starts good. This is the 3rd time in the last 7 days.
