Black box is the cruise control module, and the red plug looks like the heater control plug for ac.

Just keep removing things until something that you /want/ to work doesn't, then add that piece back.
There is actually very little on these trucks that needs to be kept intact to drive; and little that will get hurt with hacking.

Not as long as you do not want cruise control.
