Hello everyone!
I just replaced my stock muffler due to an inch hole with an aftremarket Turbo 2 by Cherry Bomb. Started the engine and the "Check engine" light came on and it's been on as of now. What causes this? And how how do I reset this? Is this have to do with EGR?
BTW It's a 97 4WD Dakota V6 3.9 xcab
Thanks
Del

I don't believe that 97 has EGR
However , what it does have is an O2 sensor at
the back of the cat , in front of the muffler
You probably disturbed it !!??
What code have you got ?
key on, off , on , off , on
within 5 seconds
count the flashes of that Check Engine light
then go here

I probably did since there was a lot of twisting going on while removing the old muffler.
I tried the on-off maneuver but I never get any code flashes. The "check eng lite" goes away and when I turn the engine on it's there again.
The truck seem to be running the same as it was except the "check eng lite" just bother me.
Thanks

If that O2 seems OK , check your gas cap
make sure is tight.
If light still on - go to Autozone or similar
and get truck scanned for the codes .
