This looks to me like it might be some type of tuner interface, but that's just a stab in the dark. I have no idea what this is, and any help would be appreciated.

Anti-theft starter kill device you have to put a chip "key" into in order for it to start. The fact that there's no key in it and you are still able to start the truck because someone has bypassed it speaks to how effective it is or was.
