That goes to the ABS sensor. On some trucks it also runs the Speedometer. Unplug it and the ABS light will come on, but see if the speedo still works. Why are you changing to a 9"?? The 8.8 is a strong rearend.

Don't tow it.. For the love of God its just a plastic sensor.. Pull the back cover off, us a punch and break up the old sensor. Clean the holse really well and install a new sensor.
