What is this device

when taping up my harness today I am wondering what is this? its hooked up to the brake cylinder. Is it some sort of filter.

Figured so, but since it was such a pretty blue color, it might have been a add on.

I have the same exact thing and was wondering if it was an aftermarket unit. That blue does seem a little out of place.

Bdox is correct, it is a hydra-boost accumulator so you have a few assited attempts at stopping your truck in the event the engine dies thus not turning the power steering pump which gives us power assisted brakes.
