Dealer maintenance codes

I took my '99 F250 in for service. 91,000 miles.
They replaced my battery.
In the maintenance needs section, they marked rec Spark Plugs,
rec struts and shocks, both followed by what looks like a check mark and h.3t, or h.3+, as well as rec fuel induction flush.

What do those numbers reference?

Just a guess, but it looks like they are recommending plugs, shocks, and flush at 3 plus hours labor.

probably 3+ hours each...

did they say why they replaced your battery? were you having problems starting your truck or having some electrical problem?

It was down to 424 CCA, on a 675 CCA battery.

When I bought the truck there, last year, they said the battery was OK.

I just talked to the dealer.
He said that code meant to check the vehicle history, to see if the mileage indicated service was due.
