    That's what happened to me when it shut down with me on the road, the red check engine light came on, and a message on the dash saying "Very low coolant level, shutting engine down in 60 seconds" but I had plenty of coolant and there were no leaks... The thing is it did that to me before and I've had Love's change the coolant sensor already, so that's why I'm kind of annoyed a little bit with this thing lol.

    Being a 2020 it may be a emission code. If the truck is near the trade cycle,it’s cheaper to put it in a regen and kick it down the road than to replace the one box.

    Mil lights come on. Sometimes it means a code was tripped and went away. But mil lights stays on for like 3 days and then turns off. Other times it's an active code. But not of something that's gonna to derate you.
