Why does the engine brake light come and the bells go off when we drive our 2004 truck within a few miles? We have to stop and turn the truck off and then turn it back on. The truck will be fine untill we stop for awhile like at a show... Then we just get started down the road and the dumb truck does it again!! Some places it's kinda hard to stop say like in large cities..
