Blinking check engine light
So the light started blinking and stayed on under hard acceleration. It's a 2008 f350 with 6.8. Truck didn't seem to be lagging in performance. Tomorrow I'll go to autozone and see what code it threw...

Happened to my brother once as he was pulling off the freeway in his Detroit Diesel Powered Semi. His made it to the end of the ramp and coasted onto the shoulder.. Buddy said "Wooee, Looks like the clown car at the circus with flames shooting out from under the hood"
He left the terminal with a Detroit Diesel under the hood. By the time he stopped (near instant after the light came on) He had two halves of a Detroit Diesel under the hood.. Not so little brother (6'6.5" tall to my 6'3" but younger) is a certified Diesel Mechanic (Also Auto) Inspected it, Hitched a ride to the truck stop a short distance away..Called Detroit D His buddy dropped his trailer and they went back intending to pull his tractor out from under his trailer, then pick up his trailer and tow it to the truck stop.. Tow truck was already hooking up to tractor (Detroit D sent the Tow) so they took the trailer back.. Detroit had a new engine, AND an installer, on a plane the next day putting it in and he was on the road again.
What, exactly, has this got to do with the original post and the problem it indicated?
