Battery discharge when shut off is due to a connected add on in the truck,( 2way radio, some item plugged into the power plug, ETC). Also a bad battery will lose it's charge when not being charged,( I've seen brand new batteries do this, Have it load tested, Also the alternator can discharge the battery if the diode is defective. Depending on wiring set up the engine can shut off when you disconnect the positive cable.

Traditionally, this was caused by a low coolant level in the cooling system. However, in your case, if the cooling system has been purged of air, this should not be the case. Otherwise, if the heat/a.c. system is run by vacuum, perhaps the vacuum supply is not good, causing the system to turn on and off according to the available vacuum.

Easy way to rid light is to unhook battery for 30 min. and re hook, may loose a few settings like radio, alternative is with a scan tool or ob2 reader with the function to reset light. If light returns, you will have to have it diagnosed with a scan tool and read fault code to determine problem. Press the helpful button

you would need to use a Tailors Tape Measure(the cloth type)and go around all the pulleys except whatever you want to bypass.what ever measurement you come up with,that will be the length belt you now need in inches.then go to the parts house and ask them to look up the original belt for you vehicle so you can get the correct RIB(GROOVE)belt.then tell them the measurement you came up with to get the correct length belt.

Take it to a ASE certified repair shop before you hurt yourself !

Sounds like something has slipped timing, camshaft most likely. If timing belt slipped, replace and set timing properly. Hopefully, valves did not get bent.

I usually use the one that comes in the bottle labeled "Power Steering Fluid"

passenger side head front of exhaust manifold can't see it from top barely see it from bottom kinda got to put in blind

Throttle body needs to be relearned. Need a oem level scan tool or equivalent. (Snap on versus modus) otc genisys or dealer tool. Once this is done the light will quit flashing and the truck will run correctly.

There's probably a problem with your A/C, sounds to me like the compressor or compressor clutch is starting to seize up.

Disconnet the battery

Check and make sure All fluids are Full, oil, brake, trans, etc... they all have low sensors tied to check engine indicator, then disconnect the Pos+ from the battery for one minute, then reconnect,
the engine light should then reset...

Sounds Like Temp Control Problem--It Can Be Scanned For Function Problem(s)
