Dealer says 5D4 means something different

On these vehicles, similar descriptions can use different codes because of supplier changes or package combinations. The code itself is useful, but the VIN-specific parts catalog is better before ordering anything.

I would avoid buying retrofit parts until the connectors and module support are confirmed. Returning electronic or VIN-programmed components can be difficult.

The safest interpretation is the one tied to the exact VIN, model year, platform, and market. In general, 5D4 matches “Aerial Work Platform Vocational Package: Provides calibrations specific to chassis with an upfit consisting of an Aerial Lift, Bucket or Boom Lift. This code identifies a factory option package; its exact contents may vary by model and model year” but the included hardware can vary between applications.

I would start by checking the original build sheet and then compare the physical equipment on the vehicle. A sales or option code confirms the factory record, but it does not prove that every original component is still installed.
