Got a 2019 1500 Limited, 5.7 hemi. My truck can't make up it's mind whether it needs to be taken to the shop, or just mess with me. The check engine light will come on, stay on for several starts, then go out. I had it checked at the local AutoZone and their machine says it's a misfire on cyl. 6. Like I said, on today and back out tomorrow. Heavy acceleration seems to help turn it off, but after a couple of days, it comes back on to torment me. Anyone with any ideas on why? Also the antilock malfunction light is/has been doing the same thing. Ideas on that as well.??

Buy yourself one of these as 1 of the first tests you should do is check the status of your battery.
