Anyone else have a problem with their check engine light? Mine has been on since I got the tb, I have had the thermostat replaced and still the light omen on? It runs fine and all the gauges read fine, anyone have any idea what it could be?

You'll need to get the codes read. I believe most Autozones will scan for free. There are many possible reasons for a check engine light. Mostly emissions related.

loose gas cap is often to blame, or if you ever replaced it with a locking one that doesnt seal properly
