I think you may be talking about the motor resistor assembly. This is what gives you the different speeds on the fan blower. Here's a picture.

Well, if your fan blower works ok in all speeds, then it's working. It's just a resistor, so if you get continuity through the springs, it's ok.
What's the problem with the truck?

There have been some issues with the switch on these. I had one that actually burned up 3 switches before one held. Pull the switch and look at the connections see if there is any burnt spots.

You are set to go. One thing, did you clean the fan itself, and check to see if there is a load of crud piled up downstream of the blower fan? You'd be amazed how fine the fan can chop leaves. Its enough to clog the evaporator, if you have A/C.
If you have to clean the crud out, get a vacuum cleaner and use the crevice tool.
