When I drive the truck and start speeding to 60 on the highway, the truck starts shaking and the engine light starts flashing.

Hello -

Please go to Auto Zone (AZ) or O'Reilly's (OR) and for FREE they can pull the codes to the car. Most important: Once they check your codes, if they find something and you don't get it fixed and need to get back with us, please make sure you tell us exactly what the code was, number and all. Example, if the code was E0568 O2 Sensor bad. Then make sure you give us all of that. While there for FREE also they can bring their tester out and check your battery and alternator.

Also please tell me your engine size in liter and the 8th digit of your VIN.

To better understand does the shake feel like it is in the steering wheel or your seat?

Is it only when accelerating or while driving steady at say...20 mph or at 40 mph...

Once you get to 60 mph does the shaking stop?

Does it feel like it is from the engine or from the suspension?
