abreviations

There are many abbreviations used in this forum regarding the way the engine and the truck works and also codes. For those of who like to know everything about our trucks would someone please define these for us,,eg FICM etc. Greatly appreciated. I am a savy persone when it comes to auto stuff but I guess I just need to have a little tutoring about these meanings, why and when

FICM... stands for Fuel Injection Control Module...its under the Degas bottle on F series 6.0 PSD trucks mounted above the valve cover.

What other abbreviations would you like to name?

I think Skyoung has a great point. Some of the forums that I belong to have a sticky that defines commonly used abreviations and acronyms. I'm trying to find out what the h311 an SES is and a sticky would sure come in handy right now.
