looks like the opti drive sensor wire,
if you truck still has reverse in it, hook it back up, it keeps you from shifting into reverse while the truck has forward movement
 
Oh right cheers . Will plug it in . Have never gone into reverse while goin forward yet . But can never be to carefull . Another quick question if ya dont mind . ? Would you recommend windshield in or out on my body shell to keep my engine cool .
 
Most people at least put a hole in it right in front of the cooling head to let air flow through. Putting a hole in it vs cutting the whole thing out makes the body a bit stronger and less likely to crack.
 
You could drill 1/2 inch holes in the widshield to have ventilation across your whole windshield while maintaining the integrity of the body.

Getting a new shell this week because my old one is trashed will do that instead . Any good shells out there . Got my original one and then my silverado . Fancy something with a bit more eye candy . Can spray and cut my self .
