We stay in Craig every year on the way to & from Moab, the power should come back as you come down in altitude.
As long as you're not getting any CEL's, you should be fine.
FWIW, I usually get a few CEL's per day when travelling at altitudes above 5000 ft. Many times, right after filling with fuel.
Having a scan gauge for reading/clearing codes on the fly is well worth the cost, if only for piece of mind...:yesgray:

Have a safe & enjoyable trip...:thumbup:

USMC- first off, welcome to colorado. secondly, i believe that craig is about 2 hours from glenwood springs, co. but thats our second stop along our CO->MOAB convoy... usually we all stop and meet up with some other VX fam there, and would love for you to come down and see some of the CO guys. but we will understand if you cant due to it being a little bit of a drive.
