Solid green is probably for the coolant temp sensor

Pink with black stripe is the standard color code for fused ignition power.  Does the truck have an air management system (smog pump)?

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

That's a 480 Metripack connector P/N 12015952.  It is probably intended to power a throttle kicker solenoid.
