Default Reading CEL Flashes For Codes

Truck is a 1995 Dodge Ram 5.9L 4x4 Auto. I have searched and searched and came up empty. Can somebody explain how to read the flashes of the CEL after the "key dance." My truck throws a code every now and then and I want to figure out what it is but don't have a scanner. All i need is a "how to" to read the flashes and where to look them up at.

Turn the ignition switch to ON-OFF-ON-OFF and finally ON. Do this fast in about 3 seconds. Then look at the CEL.

It will flash a number of times, then pause, then flash again. Count the flashes for first number, pause and count the flashes for the second number.

It will do this for all codes. When it is finished it will flash 55 to end.

I will see if I have the codes that I can post.
