To decode everything and find parts etc, you need the Master Parts Catalog for your year truck. You can find paper copies on line, and there are CDs available with much the same info. I use the free on line Demo versions and the search function here and on the internet to find stuff that's missing out of those abbreviated demo versions. There are also shop manual demos on line too.
