Thanks for replying Alan D. The only symptoms are the CEL light is on. The truck runs fine. Looks like my first first post here is a 'stumper'?

To translate and diagnose the codes, did you study the tech info page?

The trouble codes are stored in memory in your truck's computer (PCM). Your '99 is OBD-II ('95+) which means the codes must be retrieved with a code reader/scanner. Places like Autozone, Advanced Auto etc. will pull codes for free - just don't buy anything until you check back with us. Write them down.

Where did you get the codes pulled? Those particular "P" codes I've never seen before on a Ford. The "C" codes are "Chassis" codes, maybe something ABS-related.

you may want to have the codes pulled again somewhere else, or recheck the codes. those aren't ford codes. I've worked on fords for 5 years and have never seen those codes. They aren't even in the ford PCED manuel
