Got a M1083. Great truck. Everything seems working, but notified missing three diodes on circuit breaker board, not sure what it will do, and where to get it? Any hint will be appreciated.

They are used on the brake/turn signal circuit for the 7 pin trailer plug.
Not sure if that's were your talking about

Yes, it is the three diodes on the upper left side of the pannel, which were missing in my M1083 truck. Not sure what they are for, it seems my truck starts, and runs well without them. I checked the part number is 1248342, Not sure where I can get these diodes, and concerned if I don't have them, there might some problems for the engine or other electrical issues.
Thank you all for the reply.

Those look like relays, which may contain diodes.

The devices in those spots in my truck read "Dill Blox - Diode Module - 100690".
If it helps figuring out what they are, a "diode" is an electrical device that passes electricity in only one direction, like a check valve in a hose.
