    Hey guys, I really don’t know what this is, looks like some type on sensor that my truck doesn’t have, this is a diff I ordered of eBay everything is the same but that hole, I don’t know what to do, I could try and plug it some how or just buy the senor and put it in there

    No telling what you'll get from eBay
    That's why I NEVER buy there.
