It is a part number. I used PhotoShop to flip it and zoom in but can't make it out.
I'll have to remove it and try a magnifying glass.
Another early 99 difference????

Looks to me like one of those ceramic resistors with a heat shield around it. Not sure what circuit it's for specifically, but that's what it "looks" like to me.

I do have DRL. I bet you are right. I'm going to put the DRL resistor fuse back in and see if I have them when I pull the connector on this Whatsit. I knew it was a ceramic resistor but didn't know what it was for.

It was actually first sold as a Canadian truck. It's got a Canadian door sticker. Had to have DRL for export to Canada. It HAD a cat converter too.

How did I miss this thread?? It is a resistor for the DRL. It is used to drop the voltage to the lights so that they are partially illuminated for DRL. I had to change one out on another truck before.

I think this may be the answer. Mine also had DRL , but took the fuse out..

I had to relocate it to make room for my Performax Gauge ECM and wanted to know what I was moving. If unplugged will I have headlights?
Edit: I guess that will be easy enough to determine tomorrow.
