Battery Management System

Assuming this is for the battery management system? I never noticed it until now. It was tucked between the battery and fender. 2022 F250 King Ranch Ultimate 7.3 gas with single battery.

Not sure what that is but definitely doesn't look factory OEM part. Have you owned the truck since new?

Yes, owned since new. Never been anywhere to have it worked on other than the Ford dealer I bought it from and that has only been for oil changes and tire rotations.

Have you traced the wires? Maybe a tracker?

Is it a dealer installed security device ?? My 2019 had one on it that the dealer wanted to charge me for. I said no thanks and they removed it.

Interesting. I'd definitely be tracing wires. And model/serial numbers on it?

My Google-Foo comes up with "electronic rust proofing."

Did you pay for undercoating???

If you do a search for "Protection to the 3rd Power" the results include electronic rust inhibitors. Check your sales paperwork. You may have paid for some type of rust or corrosion protection system. Are there any other markings on the device that are not shown in the photo?

That's pretty sad. Seriously crappy installation and a "rust inhibitor" on an aluminum bodied truck. A visit to the dealer would be on my short list of to-do items, especially if I did not purchase said "option".
