Dont bother buying a code reader, you don't need one.  I believe the 22res are the same code checking system, so try this first.  Next to the engine bay fuse box is a little grey box (diagnostic port)  he inside of the lid should have a sticker that labels the ports, so look at that, and  install a jumper wire (paper clip works well) between Te1 and E1.  Turn on the truck (don't start it) and the check engine light will blink a sequence of times to indicate the code.  Look up the code in a chiltons/haynes book, and you'll see what the problem is. 

This is the system for the 3.0, like I said before, I believe the 22re diagnostic system is the same, but I'm not positive.  A haynes/chilton book will tell you how to check the codes however, and give you the list of codes as well.  :thumbs:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "
