It depends what kind and year the engine is.

Go to a shop. Next thing you know you are gonna be stuck doing 40 mph in the middle of nowhere.

Is that before or after the shop visit?

50/50 chance either way, LOL.
Definitely get it checked, most trucks are a real pain to drive once the engine is derated. -
I got a yellow check engine. Not red.
I called road breakdown and they say, "take it to the dealer".
Talking with other drivers, they say, "dude. I have been driving with a yellow check engine for half a year! Breakdown says to keep running."
Not sure why my truck is graced with the repairs.

Maybe your trucks are like ours, with that mechanic software junk on board.
I've had our breakdown department tell me to keep running, and I had them call me once and tell me that my engine was on the verge of a catastrophic failure and to go to the shop NOW. I was told to drop my trailer immediately and go. And there wasn't even an error message anywhere.
Kinda makes you wonder... They can tell when the engine is going to fail before the engine itself can, but they can't change the batteries properly if their lives depended on it. Hmm... Lol.Pmracing Thanks this.
