It looks like a dealer installed ignition disabling device. You need an electronic "key" to start the truck. They often disarm them when they leave the lot.

I just got under there again, and there is a button on the back of it. it is a little spring button.
Any ideas?

I still think it's a dealer installed ignition kill device.

You have to have both the key and a small electronic device so that the component mounted under your dash can read it to start the truck.

Its either the self destruct button, you push a certain sequence in and the truck blows up, or its a button that when you push it someone you never met dies... I am not sure which one it is.
