    Looks good. The T fitting looks different. I believe mine was male threads on one side vs the middle so I had to put the pressure switch straight up. I had to remove a bit of material on top to fit it.

    This is a McMaster fitting, I can see why you had to cut the box using the one provided.

    Since we’re playing “name what this wire controls” game, I have a couple more for you...

    First one is the grey plug in the same area as OP
    Second one is on the same main loom but next to the battery.

    Grey is bolted to the metal body, it’s a bundle of ground wires.

    That is a Can Bus Junction connector for the Radar sensor in the grill to talk to the rest of the truck.

    Other one is a grounding junction as mentioned.
