Anyone know what this is...
It's on the passenger side of the dash. You can see it when the door is open. Has an image on it that looks like a gas tank with a line through it. The cover comes off and looks like there is something in there that can be filled.

If the truck is ever hit hard, that switch trips and shuts down the electric fuel pump. It is easily reset by pushing the button. A friend of mine was off roading and dropped his front end into a hole and the truck shut down. He had already called a wrecker to come get him when he got me on the phone and asked him had he reset that switch. He pushed it, the truck fired and was able to drive it out of the hole with 4wd. I have to say though, it takes much more of an impact to trip these switches than say BMW. And also, we can reset ours ourselves without having to have it taken to the stealership to have it done.
