What year might your truck be?
The newer trucks (03+) have a PCM controlled clutch for the rad fan.
These wires are common to get sucked into the fan.

I would agree with Rabbler sound like the clutch fan wires, I just had my fan spin off the shaft. Look from under neath the vehicle and see if the wires leading to the fan clutch are still complete.

Yup, those are your fan clutch wires.

The PCM monitors / controls fan clutch engagement and speed.

If it's not seeing those signals, that's why you're getting the CEL.

Yes, Sir. Good to see you Train. That is one sick signature you've got there.
