Your best bet would be a haird dryer and then some warm soapy water to make sure the clear coat doesn't get ****ed up.

just heat up the decal with a heat gun, and then peal it off, and then use some wd40 to take off the goo that is left on the paint.

then wash your truck to get off all ot the wd40, and you will be good to go.
