It sounded like you were stating that there were other three character codes than YE9 that mean a truck is a Cheyenne Super.

Edit - btw, Keith wrote up a great explanation of what those extraneous characters can sometimes mean. Worth a look, I found it very interesting.
Just my ignorance of RPO characters on display Jocko. Learn something new everyday.

I can't quite reach the write-up, but I see "The additional characters are either ECL codes, which provide additional detail about the RPO, or dummy characters filling the spaces after the added codes fell into disuse." And "ECL Exception Control Letter".

That alone explains a lot.
