Welcome, welcome. I am a "newbie" too, but the guys here all seem to be just "good people".
Congrats on your truck, I bought mine in February, really haven't had time to dither with it at all.
Just keep the questions coming and these "Bolters" will help you out. These things are not too complicated--I always say I bought mine because there is no computer involved.
Take some pics so we can see what you got. Nothing is embarressing, I rather wish mine had the "patina" from aging rather than a new (and not so good) paint job.
