Maint Required Light on 4G64
Im gonna assume this is some sorta light that comes on to let you know its time to change timing belts or air filter or something cause it came on at exactly 220k miles. Anyone know what is exactly required at the milage and how to reset it?

Timing belts are every 60k on our 4G63 stuff. Unless it's different on your 4G64 that doesn't seem to match up. Is that thing an interference engine? If not I wouldn't even worry about the timing belt, but this light might be a good sign to waste a few hours and a few bucks at discount to replace some hoses/belts/plugs/wires/distributor cap/ etc, whatever catches your eye as a likely candidate.

On our 3g's with the 4G64, we're doing the timing belts every 60-65k. Pretty much the same as the 4G63 guys..... BUt like Jordan Y said, It'd be a good idea to replace you typical wear and tear things. For the Coil packs, I'd look at the car-parts.com website and try to find some at a junkyard. They're 150 new at the dealer as opposed to +/-$40 from the yard.....n As far as reseting the light, I dunno mang.....

I picked up a haynes manual. Its mainly acutally for the emissions and and 02 sensor acutally.
This truck had pretty much all the normal items replaced before I bought it, so anything short of tranny or engine failure, im good for another 2 years.
To reset it, theres a little switch hidden behind the guage cluster you just switch back.
