I don't subcribe to this idea personally but disconnecting the battery on that truck (negative cable) will clear the codes. There is no method for this vehicle (like the old GM's) to get the code meanings or #'s without at least a hand scanner. You can pick one up fairly inexpensively

Reset check engine light

Do you know what the stored trouble code is? If you have found that out already, the usual way to reset the light is to remove the ECU main fuse for about 30 sec. Disconnecting the battery will do it too, but that will wipe out the presets and the PIN code entry in your radio as well. Very inconvenient that.

Not passing smog, no code or engine light

Its going to be tough to find the problem without access to a 4 gas machine. Especially if there are no trouble codes in the computer.
If the fuel mixture is rich it should set a code for one or both O2 sensors. Same thing if the EGR is not working, etc.
One thing that could cause problems is the thermostat not getting the engine up to normal temp.
